I confess I fell prey to these at J. Crew on Black Friday when they were half off. My relationship with rhinestones has pretty much devolved to, “Oh, shiny, pretty, take my money, please!” So I was helpless in the face of these.

What I really like about them is that they are light weight, which is often not the case with longer or more pave designs. And I’m not planning to save these 3-1/2 inch babies for a special occasion, either.

J. Crew notes, “To create these unique earrings, we pavé-set sparkly crystals in resin, for a look that’s pretty much guaranteed to turn heads.” These are also available as clip-ons, sell for USD$65, and are available in blue, rose gold, gold and silver crystals.
