content: I bought a lovely necklace that Amazon featured this set of earrings as well as a bracelet with as a "buy together for" deal. I was SO incredibly disappointed with these earrings! These were described as 4-5 mm, and the length 1.75". The image alone is deceiving. The actual "pearl" portion is only 1" long (see images I uploaded). If the seller had featured a picture of them being worn, I would have seen the pearls & overall earrings were much smaller. My husband, an engineer, measured the pearls with a caliper and found they were 3 mm at best, only 2 were 4 mm. The freshwater pearl necklace (from a different seller) looks NOTHING like these earrings and together look mismatched so I gave the earrings to my teenage daughter. For a 16 year old, these are fine, but I wouldn't rate these earrings better than any fake set you could buy at Claire's. I think I'm done purchasing jewelry on Amazon.com unless they start requiring sellers to post more images, especially of the item worn.
