The butterflies are more prominent than expected from photos, because they stick out a bit. Amethyst (in mine) was not as dark as in photo's. Still beautiful though (am literally wearing them right now).
Love these earrings. I've already worn them three times. Such a lovely and versatile design. The quality of the stones as well as the quality of the workmanship is beyond impressive. So glad I bought them. Also, this is the third piece of jewelry I've ordered from Novica, and it won't be the last.
