Hi,
I think the set of earrings was amazing value. I agree that leverbacks would have been safer, but I have nipped the shepherds hooks after putting them in and they have been fine. I have used the plastic stop with no problems and it is virtually invisible when worn, so I can't agree that it cheapens the look of the earrings. The pearls themselves have a beautiful lustre IMHO and I am really well satisfied with the value I received.
Even my husband remarked that they were very nice, which is a very unusual event in itself! He rarely comments on my jewellery unprompted, in case it encourages me to buy more......as if I need any encouragement!
