Price doesn’t equal value
I was really excited to receive these earrings, but what I got didn’t quite measure up to what I expected.<br /><br />The earrings themselves do look like the listing, but the gold is brighter and very cheap looking in person. The opalite looks nice, but it definitely is synthetic at a glance. If you’re looking for earrings that look well-made and authentic, these are not the right earrings for you.<br /><br />They arrive in a box, but instead of actually being inserted into the box foam (like earrings from a retail  store) they are inside inside of a fashion jewelry labeled plastic polybag. This in and of itself is by no means an issue, except for the fact that it made my earrings smell incredibly bad.<br /><br />The earrings that I received smelled like chemicals when I took them out of the bag and the smell was strong enough that  even after using a jewelry cleanser, I could still smell that chemical stench whenever I am in the same room, making it unpleasant to wear them.<br /><br />Overall, the earrings do look nice but they look more like costume jewelry than anything legitimate. I would recommend them for some thing like a cosplay costume and not  to coordinate as part of a standard outfit.<br /><br />Pros:<br /> - Looks like listing photo<br /> - Parts can be worn together or separately<br /><br />Cons:<br /> - Smelly<br /> - Bright gold coating looks cheap in person<br /> - Opalite is obviously synthetic
