Way bigger in person than in the photo, which is good. Imagine the size of a softball. These are a decorative size too, and very flattering for anyone who loves sparkles like me :). However, some of the sparkles/beads did begin to fall off as I unbagged them, I hope that is because of their possible banging around during shipment and not because they aren't glued well (yikes!), but until then, I love them.
