They are lightweight but not fragile. I gave them a 3 instead of 4 because the color is a lot lighter/pale than id like.The concept of these is lovely but they don’t fully deliver- and the stone on one earring is scratched. How do you sell someone a piece of jewelry with scratched stones. Ross Simons be ashamedBeautiful earringsI absolutely LOVE these earrings!!!! I wear them just about every day. Wearing them now! I have had them since April the 2nd. It's now may 31st 2021. Still in great shape. The stones are a lavender shade. So beautiful. And super sparkly. I need to learn just how the best way to clean them would be. They seem fragile. But yet, they aren't. But want to take excellent care of them to have them for years to come. Very pleased with this purchase! Ross-Simons is now my go to online jewelry store!These citrine dangly earrings are light in color, but they're cut so well and are polished so brightly that they shine. Each section is soldered to the one above & below it, so they don't move as in a chain. They're stiff. However, the workmanship is pretty good. You can see the human hand made these; they're slightly imperfect in asymmetry, which I love. They're "artsy"! Mine didn't come with backs, but I buy silver backs because they're easy to misplace.I liked these earrings, but nearly sent them back, because at first glance I could see the settings were not that high of a quality. They are not really straight, although they are strong enough they are not likely to bend. I looked at the picture on the web page and it appeared to me that they were straighter on the picture, but I cannot say for sure. I found the stones to be pale blue, not a deep blue, and the earrings were very classy and pretty on. I am bothered by the setting, but it is a negligible issue when they are on, so I am keeping them. If you are a bit OCD like me, this issue might bother you; but I think that most folks will not really notice.Not as desired, does not meet expectations. The quality of earrings is low, not my definition of fine jewelry. The craftmenship is amature and flawed. The materials used, silver setting is bad dull finish and soldered together. The stones are low quality garnet is not deep red they are purpish red the cut is poor and some are not set straight in the setting. The size or stones are of good size just lack color and cut. The discription says these are come giftable in a box, and they did come in a box and inside the box a branded sak which I pulled out a cellophane bag containing the earrings, smh, presentation fail, this is a nit picky thing but in my view point it, its simply part of sellers character, and if customer appreciation is important, class, core ect. But anyways back to the earrings I planned to return but I was able to polish them out a bit and get a lil more shine from them will see if granny likes them.Wished the colors were darker
