I wasn't expecting the sparkle...

I like the back pack and lunch box, but we weren't expecting them to be sparkly.  The entire front of the lunch box and the back pack below the black line have a shimmery/glittery look to them.  This will just be used for taking items to and from my son's daycare, so we are not going to worry about sending it back.  My 5 year old daughter loves it!

I was extremely surprised - it is beautiful.  I was expecting something much less, but the packaging itself (box within a box) and the bracelet makes quite an impressive gift.

Way more pretty  than I expected. It looks like a very expensive piece of jewelry...very shiny and sparkly. I was extremely pleased when I opened the UPS package. The chain was perfect, long, and very very nice. Better than described!  This was for my daughter's 35th birthday and she LOVED it! She's a picky one to gift for (but grateful for everything I give and do for her) and to see her eyes light up when she saw it...well, it warmed my heart and I was thrilled she loved it so much. I do have to glue one of the little pink pieces back on...it came off in her hand upon opening. But, that's no problem. E6000 glue fixed it right up and it'll never come off again.

I wasn't expecting much from this because it was so cheap but it surprised me. I would say this would qualify as fine glitter, not extra fine, but I can overlook that for the price and the quantity.

I bought this for my granddaughter and didn't expect much. What a surprise when it arrived! the Bling is small colored stones that really sparkle! We have had it for a month or so now and it is very good protection for the phone. We couldn't believe the quality and looks especially for the great price!

I was worried that these were not sparkly enough, so I went looking for different ones which pale in comparison to these.  They are simply gorgeous !!! And they came way before I expected them.  Awesome product!!!!

I went out on a whim and bought it because of the low price. I had been searching for an opal ring for a while, but didn't want anything to big or flashy. When I saw the picture, it seemed decent enough for now. However, when I opened the package, it was just gorgeous. Way better than I had expected!! Definitely worth it :)

I have had it for a month now, and no problems yet. The stones are all intact and it's still shiny!

For the price I didn't have huge expectations, but I'm actually quite happy with them. It's true, the metal is not bright gold, more of a matte old gold or antique gold, and the stones aren't like Christmas lights. I think if the stones were bigger or brighter the earrings would have looked somewhat gaudy; instead they are rather tasteful (and they are tiny stones, not just glitter glue that someone else described).  Mine are facing in different directions, and the eyes are blue not red as in the photo (also glad about that - don't need a pair of zombie-eyed peacock earrings).  If you're looking for something loud, festive and flashy, these probably aren't what you want (at least, not if they look like mine). The more low-key profile means I can wear them in the office without looking tacky or garish.

Looking at the color and clarity information on these earrings, I didn't have high hopes for them.  I figured I would most likely be disappointed have
 to send them back, but since they were the deal of the day and under $200, I thought I'd give them a try.  When the package arrived, I tore it open like a little kid on Christmas to see the quality of the diamonds.  I was, and am, BLOWN AWAY by the beauty and quality of the stones I received.  They sparkle like crazy - and are completely eye clean.  I wouldn't rate these I1, I2, or !3.  My educated guess would be more like SI1 or SI2.  As far as the color, I see no yellowish cast in them at all.  My hubby said he saw the slightest hint of a slightly less-than-completely-white while the studs were still in the box, but as soon as I put them on, the yellowish cast he saw was no longer visible at all.  I do have to mention that the webpage says these are screw back earrings, but I received only the post and it looked like someone had tried to make the screw backs but they didn't have a lot of success with that. I'm currently wearing them with backs that I already owned. I just hope I don't lose an earring!  I just can't stop being "wowed" while looking at these beautiful stones - and the amazing quality at the price I paid.  If you are looking for perfect diamonds, then these are probably not for you.  But if you are looking for a very good value for beautiful, sparkling, eye clean diamond earrings, you can't go wrong with these.  I have a LARGE collection of earrings, but my guess is that I'll probably wear these the majority of the time.  So happy!

ETA - Unfortunately I have to send these back.  The earring backs of my own that I tried to wear these with didn't hold the earring on properly.  I also tried the little plastic ear nuts, ut I am just too worried that I'll lose one or both of the earrings using these ill-fitting backs.  so disappointing!

I was, at first, snickering when I saw these earrings. I wondered how much more over-the-top Mariana could go with a design. But something kept bringing me back to this Amazon product page, and the more I looked at the earrings, the more I wanted them. Finally, I broke down and ordered them even though I thought I was crazy to pay so much for something I might not like in "real life". A friend told me they might be fine for an Oscars party, but not much else.

Well, the earrings arrived today and I *LOVE* them. They are far prettier than the photo indicates. I won't be waiting for Oscar night to wear them. I'm just crazy enough to wear them with my jeans and sweatshirts. It's always fun to wear plenty of sparkle.

Is glittery too, so that was a nice surprise that you can't really see in the picture when ordering.
