In full spectrum lights, they shine brilliantly. In other lights, they look too big, cheap & dull. One of the pave diamonds that encircle the stud is missing. The pave diamonds are too small and dull for anyone to notice the missing one, though. For a fake, it's a good product. I hope it looks believable on me. For those with multiple piercings, you cannot wear any other earrings with this stud, FYI. The stud is too big and will look cheap if paired with another earring.
