Some Assembly Required
When purchasing the 4 prong variation of this product, you get to choose one set of earrings; with your choice of 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm CZ crystals.  Each earring consists of a CZ crystal, set in a sterling silver basket & post, a plastic spacer, and a sterling silver backing (see picture).<br /><br />When you open the package; it becomes obvious that manufacturing efficiencies are at play.  The earrings, backings, and spacers were picked from a bin; and then JIT (Just In Time) added to a gift box kit (see picture).  There is nothing wrong with this approach.  Just wash your hands, carefully open the package containing the earring parts, assemble, and mount them onto the foam.  Because the earrings, spacers and backings come in separate (but very tiny) zipper bags; I recommend assembling them on a work surface that has enough room to find pieces that might "get away from you."<br /><br />The spacers are a nice touch, that I don't see very often.  For that, I'm rating this at 5 stars.
