Are they just fashion earrings or proper jewellery jerichosmom? From the ladies I saw wearing them, the gold ones looked like gold, the pearl ones looked like costume/fashion.
I don't care for them. I usually eschew trendy anyway but seriously don't care for these earrings in any way shape or form. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind if they look great on somebody but at this stage I haven't seen them IRL and in pics I think blechhh.
I've seen those in the press, & I too, am not much of a fan. Although I've never tried a pair on, maybe they do look nice, but from my vantange point, I'm not wild about them.
I say a woman wearing them on a flight from Hawaii. When I got home I saw them in a Ross-Simons catalog in multiple colors. They are interesting, but I don't think I would want to own them. Same thing with the earrings that go up the ear. Cute but trendy. I wouldn't want to invest in them.
I've seen them in magazines and on few women in my area but mostly with imitation pearls. IMO it's a trendy piece like the climber earrings. Costume is the way to go.
