Solid, but not quite as pretty as in the picture
These earrings are well-built. They latch well, and the earring itself is very sturdy. There is a bit of sparkle from the black diamonds, but not as much as I expected. The size and color of the diamond chips is not as uniform as shown in the picture, and they are a bit smaller than shown. Although I count the same number of chips in the picture and in the earrings I received, the chips in the earrings take up more space than mine, and when I turn my earrings to the side, the chips are all below the bezel of the silver, instead of just above it as shown. My last complaint is that the black rhodium was not applied very carefully, and it can be seen on the outside of the channel in several places, which gives the earrings a sloppy look when observed very carefully, which adds to the sloppiness of the inconsistently-placed stones. Still, I'm giving these earrings four stars because I do like them and the seem like a good value at $50.
