I’m a real stickler on buying presents for my loved ones that are a step above the usual. In this case, the usual would be all the boring earrings you see at mall kiosks and even big stores at the mall. After a while they all start to look the same. Know what I mean? I feel like I’ve come across the mother lode of beautiful sterling silver earrings. And that’s saying a lot! Of course, it helps being an animal fanatic. But I’m picky about my animal jewelry. Whether gold or silver, enamel or whatever, the pieces must be realistic and detailed, as all of them are here.
