Not cartoonish but also not anatomically lifelike. I thought about returning them because I already have and love Flora's dragonfly amber drop earrings. But these are so cute that I'm just going to have to wear amber more often.
The detail in these is amazing. They are small but amazingly detailed and you can't always tell they are skulls unless you really look at them, so I only creep out the observant. I wear them all the time, not just in October.
Simple, classic earrings showing off the perfection of the purple turquoise. I have worn them many times and they go as well with corporate workwear as casual dressing on the weekends. Very versatile! The shipping speed and presentation were excellent.
