a bit "Hit and Miss" ... and I cannot confidently say which one takes precedence
'<br />***FAIR and OPEN DISCLOSURE***<br /><br />[this is a personal review of a product received free of charge as part of my participation in the "Amazon Vine" program: this fact has in no way influenced my evaluation of this product, nor have I been influenced or coerced by either the manufacturers, marketers, promoters, etc. of the product in question to ascribe to it anything other than my own honest and unbiased opinions]<br />___________<br /><br />The very first impression I got when opening these was a sense of doubt that the crystal was not genuinely cubic zirconia or any stone or stone-like material - it appears (at least to my eyes) suspiciously "plastic": if that's actually the result of an optical illusion at play, then it shouldn't be cut and/or set in such a way that results in it giving off that look.<br /><br />I was also a bit thrown off by the design, believing that the gem and faux pearl (which has a nice subtle hinted coloration to it, by the way) would be dangling on the end of a "flexible," rather than rigid, setting. Even so, as designed, it has a different sort of flexibility, in that it's "flipable" so that you have the ability to choose which trinket on each piece precedes the other.<br /><br />As for comfort, again I have no complaints, although I personally switched out the cumbersome "silicone" holders with one of those from among my gold-plated backings. As a whole, they're unobtrusive and barely even felt.<br /><br />Quite nice overall; just a tad bit off-putting because of the somewhat cheap look.<br /><br />~ Ace-of-Stars ~
