Rating 3.5 Stars. Necklace - 4 Stars. Earrings - 3 Stars.

Let's start off with the necklace, which in my opinion is the better piece of jewellery in this set. The chain on the necklace is lovely, nice and chunky and durable, while still looking feminine. I also love the dangling purple crystal and how it hangs. I like the fact that it has a slightly protruding 3D design rather than lying flat, however I did find the pattern engraving looked a little cheap for my taste, perhaps because it's plated rather than fully platinum.

That being said, being plated means it should be suitable for those with allergies to having non-pure metals directly touch their ears. The necklace is quite long and can be extended with the decorative chain dangle at the back, so it's definitely suitable for us larger ladies too.

Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems with the earrings. While the design was the same as the necklace, I found the circle closure to be just a little small. I usually love earrings with this type of clasp closure, but have previously seen it in an oval/oblong shape rather than a direct circle.

At first I had quite a lot of trouble getting it in my ear due to the shape and length of the closure and even though I was eventually able to put the earrings on, I found removing them or closing them to be very uncomfortable. It would be my recommendation that the closure on this earring be made to be a longer oval shape as even though I have small earlobes, I felt they were a bit pinchy.

A good set, but the earrings need to be improved.
