These 8 x 8s rock! I 'really' dig these! The hue is 'deep purple' - I was apprehensive but, they're fantastic. I picked up a pair as a gift for a loved one, too. Oh, and the etchings on the side of the studs is cool for a dude too!
I've been wearing dangle & hoop earrings for years and just started wanting to wear studs again. These are lovely, just the right size, beautifully made; they make me feel dressed up without worrying about catching on anything.
