These are diamond cluster earrings with 5 haphazardly set diamonds totaling 1/4 carat.The metal is 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating.The earrings are rather small. The diamonds are small and their placement is almost similar to a druse.The quality seems good and these have a nice sparkle and shine.They come attractively gift boxed in an appropriately sized jewelry box.I'm very happy with these earrings! They look just like the listing photos, and I find the settings to be well-done and pretty - not overly chunky. They have just enough sparkle to them too. They obviously aren't as brilliant as a single solid diamond would be, but considering how many small diamonds are in this setting, I'm happy with the level of shine. The gold is nice, not super yellow or fake looking. The earrings are also lightweight and comfortable to wear, and the backs are sturdy while still being easy to take off and put on. I'm happy to have these in my jewelry box, and I would definitely recommend them, especially as a gift. I would have loved to have gotten these both as a middle schooler with newly pierced ears and now as a woman in my mid-20s. A good staple piece.
