The butterflies are more prominent than expected from photos, because they stick out a bit. Amethyst (in mine) was not as dark as in photo's. Still beautiful though (am literally wearing them right now).
These earrings remind me of butterflies. I wear them with my hair up or down and they are pretty! I changed out the ear wire to a sterling silver kidney ear wire so that they would not hang down as long, personal preference. I would wear these anywhere. The stones are soft colored. The earrings can be worn as a stand alone piece because they are a noticeable work of art!
These gorgeous earrings are the best purchase I've made in years. The dragons are a real conversation starter. People admire them every time I wear them, and I wear them whenever possible!
