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.
'Gracious Sunset' earrings are more beautiful than shown in the photo because the citrine gem stone has a deeper color, the silver decoration is more defined and the silver has more shine than pictured. The setting of the citrine is raised up which adds to the eye-catching effect of the design. Wear with semi-dressy and dressy outfits. Glad to add to my jewelry collection.
