I was looking for a pair of hoop earrings that were smaller in size and were wearable as an everyday pair. I ordered these during the Black Friday sale. When I received these they exceeded my expectations - the diamonds were nice and white and had a beautiful sparkle! It also doesn't hurt that they give two looks in one and that it has emeralds on the other half - my birthstone! This is my first Nicole Rose purchase but is definitely not my last.
