The colors are darker in person, the amethysts are purple and the pearls are a soft pink which makes these earrings even prettier. I now have four pairs of earrings from this artists and I love them all. They are beautiful and very comfortable to wear.
I had not thought to be charmed by an octopus, though they are cool creatures in real life. But this depiction of sea life was something I wanted to my great surprise & I am happy that I bought it. I'm wearing it now!
