First, this is a stunning design; I am a woman with larger hands and this is a beauty! The silver is polished and the top is slightly beveled so that there is a ledge that supports the sodalite stripes. I love it! and have worn it every day since receiving it. High quality and design :)
These earrings are perfect to wear for dressier occasions. I have received many compliments on them and have removed them when friends ask to look at them more closely. Everyone admires the fine craftsmanship.
