The closeup photo shows the detail better on these earrings but the further away pic better depicts the color. The silver is darker than the closeup photo shows.

note regarding shipping! We use USPS Ground, as it is the cheapest option for our buyers. It is also the SLOWEST option. If you want faster shipping, you are welcome to upgrade - and pay more for - your shipping when you check out. Please do not make comments about how slow your package arrived when you provide feedback, as I get my items to the post office extremely quickly. I have no control over how quickly they handle it after I drop it off. Thank you!
