These are really intricately made with a pear shaped crystal at the top surrounded by smaller stones for a halo effect. The studs then dangle a beautiful blue checkerboard faceted teardrop crystal from a swirling silver and micro pave set crystal heart shaped veil. The color of the blue reminds me of a perfect blue topaz. The details are really what make these earrings! They do give a bit of sparkle while still being rather petite making them able to be worn for multiple occasions. Silver plated.
