I thought the earrings had small diamonds along their whole length - my mistake, as I didn't read the prod. descript. properly. The surface of the earrings is decorated with small raised dots - not with diamonds, as I thought from the picture. Look closely at the small undecorated areas on the earrings and you may see three small stones on each earring, two on the top half and one on the bottom half. Quite small.
The 'wings' on the stud are very tight making it tricky to push the stud onto the earring. For non-metrics, earrings are just over 1/2"L, just over 1/16" W
The earrings came in a plastic bag, stapled shut, inside a box about 3 and 1/2" square, (O.K. but not very glam), and that inside a box app.11"x8"x3".
