I would have expected these sterling silver and cubic zirconia earrings by Vivian Jacob to cost a lot more than the asking price of USD $485. They look a lot like much higher priced fine jewelry offerings (Dior and Chopard come to mind) and give all the wow/glam factor at a fraction of the price of real gold and gems.

They are not for the shy or faint of heart, measuring 3 1/4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. But what an epic way to jazz up a dark winter night.
