Just got these star - shaped emerald huggie earrings in Miami, and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the design is really cute. The gold finish on the 925 sterling silver gives a warm glow, and the emerald in the middle is a nice touch. They're clip - on earrings, which is good for those who don't have pierced ears. However, I was expecting a bit more sparkle from the emerald. But overall, they're still decent earrings. They're hypoallergenic, which is a plus, and the huggie design makes them comfortable to wear. I might give them a 3 - star rating for now, but I'll see how I feel after wearing them more.
