The earrings are certainly beautiful. They are suppose to be champagne in color, seem to be very light though striking and perfect. The sapphires significant in size are a pretty color and appear clear. The only thing that concerned me is that the backs are very tight. The earrings are delicate as you would assume. The first time wearing them I could hardly remove them because the backs were so tight. I was afraid the earrings would brake while I tried to remove them from my ears, I hope backs loosen with repeated wear, the last thing I want to do is break them, they're to pretty for that :-)
