Not cartoonish but also not anatomically lifelike. I thought about returning them because I already have and love Flora's dragonfly amber drop earrings. But these are so cute that I'm just going to have to wear amber more often.
I really like these earrings because the design makes them look like little flowers. They are a nice size and the stones are very pretty. They are a nice addition to my earring collection since I don't have any citrine stones.
