The Series 20 Oblique Blackened Sterling Rock Crystal stud earrings are gorgeous! As with all of Catherine's designs they are meticulous in craftsmanship and function. These 4 carat rock crystals truly sparkle and the blackened silver gives them an elegant edge. The backs are secured with large blackened sterling butterfly backs so the earrings sit securely and well on the lobes. I wore mine all day when I received them and though they are substantial, they were so comfy I forgot they were on! I have fairly large earlobes. These earrings are elegant. They are also substantial
so they may not suit very small ear lobes. These earrings will look great with either more formal attire such as a black cocktail dress or look sophisticated with a black cashmere turtle neck (or any color!) The classic form with the blackened sterling gives them a bit of a glamorous "edge". I love them! The communication with shipping is excellent as well. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
