i really like both of the earrings but i like the second pair better for spring outfits. i think the first is heavier and hence better for cold weather. the second, i feel is lighter and a bit prettier with the sparkly bits and would catch the sunlight really pretty in the spring with your hair pulled back or something.

Just an FYI...I saw these earrings in the store today. They are much bigger than they appear they will be and a bit thicker as well. Personally, I like them in the photos much better than in person.
