Nice size, nice luster, 2 backs, but a problem or two as well.
The picture on the listing of these earrings are accurate so I haven't included any of my own. The luster on the “gemstone” is nice, but not quite as lustrous as I expected. The listing called a “zircon cat’s eye” because I guess they think “zircon” means “simulated” but you get the idea.  It’s a sort of simulated cat's eye. It looks pretty good, but not perfect. Realistically, an actual cat's eye of this size would probably weigh too much and be uncomfortable anyway.<br /><br />The earrings came with 2 different backs, which is always a nice touch. Unfortunately, one of the posts on the earrings was bent a little so I had to bid it back. I used tools to do this because I was little afraid that just pushing it would break it off. Everything else was fine and they fit well afterwards.  Otherwise, these earrings are well made. Everything seems pretty solid.<br /><br />Overall I don't think these earrings are a giant rip off, but they're not perfect.  I still think they look good and the 18k Gold plating is enough to keep it from tarnishing.
