They are sparkly, even though smaller than what I was hoping for. But I was a bit dismayed to find them in an open box - the lid separate! I kno that SS's jewelry is usually packed very nicely and most likely had a purple wrapper around it - is it true ladies? Well I meant to give these to my sister but I wish I wouldn't get such a blatantly under-boxed return! How could HSN just stick the open box like that into the package? HSN, eeeek!
