"Nothing special"
The sculpture give no particular feeling, and the base is too small.

"Attention Getters"
These earrings are so unique. You never see anything like them in stores. They are quite large but lightweight and very comfortable! I also have the same style in the rainbow colors. I wear them all the time and consistently receive compliments.
