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.
I purchased these beautiful little earrings as a gift for a beloved friend. When I saw them I knew they were really meant for me :) So I kept them and now I am planning to buy another pair for my friend.
