I am posting this review for my wife:I received these earrings as a gift from my husband before our wedding in March. I had struggled with what jewelry to wear with my dress since it had quite a bit of intricate detailing along the neckline. I didn't want anything too big or dramatic that would detract from the beautiful lace detail on the dress. We got married in Cancun and I still had no idea what earrings would look best with the dress up until the day before. I had packed several pairs ranging in size, color and design, but all from cheap retailers like Old Navy and Forever 21. I am by no means an elitist when it comes to jewelry and my entire collection is filled with inexpensive pieces that look great. However, I wanted something special and "real" for my wedding day. I didn't buy anything for myself since I really had no idea what I wanted to wear in the weeks leading up to our wedding and was not willing to spend money on diamond, pearl or any precious stone/ metal without being certain.My husband picked up on all of this and gave me these gorgeous pearl earrings the day before our wedding. As soon as I opened the box I knew these were perfect for our big day. I have never had real pearl earrings and I immediately noticed the difference in quality as these had some weight to them and shined unlike anything else I own.They were the last thing I put on before heading out for our first look and I am not exaggerating when I say they made my look. I loved my hair, flower headpiece, makeup and of course my dress but I didn't have that WOW feeling until I put in my earrings. They pulled everything together perfectly and made my feel like a bride. Their simplicity only enhanced their beauty.I would highly suggest these to ANY bride no matter what type of dress you have. They are beautiful and elegant and a piece I continue to wear on a regular basis after our wedding.
