What i like about this piece is its subtle colouring. I find the gentle tonal gradation from cream to black pleasing. Another thing i like is the repeated use of the slightly flattened diamond shape and it's gradual increase in size from top to bottom. The combination of these two elements of colour and proportion give the piece a visual weight and feeling of pendulousness. I like jewellery that has a justifiable heft to it, some body, or at least creates the illusion of weight. I think that the materials of the piece, woven glass seed beads and a matt silver sheperds hook, have been used to their advantage to make a simple and attractive piece of jewellery. The length of the piece flatters the delicate feminine line of the neck from earlobe to collar-bone. I find this piece although simple, quite elegant and sophisticated and classic. I feel that a woman of any age could wear this piece and have it look charming.

I find these pieces, while bright, eye-catching and cheery, somewhat garish. I find the addition of the fringe of large dangling beads at the bottom lumpish and clumsy. I am not fond of the general shape and I think that it would be less flattering to the female form and more generally distracting. These earrings may be fun and look like sparkly sweets but that also makes them seem faddish, not classical, and reserved perhaps for quite young women.
