These 8 x 8s rock! I 'really' dig these! The hue is 'deep purple' - I was apprehensive but, they're fantastic. I picked up a pair as a gift for a loved one, too. Oh, and the etchings on the side of the studs is cool for a dude too!
I purchased these for the earthen colors and double drops. They are just so finely made - delicate but yet draw attention. I have ordered another different pair by this artisan which I had to wait for - definitely worth the wait and I am looking forward to their arrival!
