Did not meet expectations.I bought a pair of these for my mom who loved pearls, but she always wears a plastic pair so I thought it was time to get her some real ones. Their very nice, real, un-expensive, and look very nice. Plus they would be a lot more in a store than online. BEST THING IV'E BOUGHT ONLINE SO FAR!!!I had bought chocolate freshwater pearl necklace off another sight and never got earrings for it.I was shopping for something else,on Amazon.com,when I ran into the Bling Jewelry set of freshwater chocolate earrings. I knew the minute I laid my eyes on them,I had to have them!! When they arrived in the mail,I took them to the window with my necklace and they matched perfectly!!Thanks Bling for matching earrings.I love my new pearl button earrings! It is hard to believe that such a beautiful pair of earring could be so affordable. They are uniform in size and full of luster. They go with everything in my closet and look very pretty and feminine. I think this is the perfect size, neither too big or too small. I would recommend them to anyone.THEY DON'T REALLY LOOK BLACK TO ME MORE OF A DARK PURPLE. PERFECT SIZE THOUGH.Love these. They were inexpensive, and they are actually BLACK! I ordered from two other places to find out when I received them that they were not black, but sort of "greenish." UGLY!!! These areExactly what I wanted!!!I was looking for a pair of simple pearl earrings to wear everyday. These earrings are simple and elegant. The price was awesome but the quality is what really made the difference. They are perfect for everyday wear but also on special occasions. I have other pearl pieces and the size and color match perfectly. I am extremely happy with my purchaseThese are so pretty. Bought them to match a necklace, and the size is excellent! Exactly as described, and came with a small pouch to keep them in, if you're giving them as a gift.Quite tiny, but a lovely pearlescent brown. I’m pleased with them.I bought these for my daughter and she absolutely loved them! They look really nice, but she did say that the backs of them were too loose. she pulled slightly on the pearl to see how tight it was, and the back fell right off. Fortunately she had some backs off some other earrings that fitted them so she can still wear them. Overall i'd say it was an good buy, apart from the let down about the backs of them.Pretty, easy to wear, came promptly...pity I lost one!I love pearls and this came up to scratch without a doubtNice earrings, different shape and colour not so pink as I thought but good for price.Great earrings.
