Amazon.com Product Description
Add sparkle and variety to your wardrobe with this set of five
individually boxed sterling silver stud earrings, showcasing five
different colored gemstones. Now you can wear a different pair of
earrings for each day of the work week, or more closely match the
colors of your couture. The set includes one pair each of generously
sized peridot, blue topaz, garnet, citrine, and amethyst studs. The
total combined weight of all ten gemstones is 8.25 carats.
The
6.67mm round peridot studs have a striking lime green color and a total
weight of 1.6 carats. These "evening emeralds" as the Romans called
them, are gorgeous in both natural and artificial light.
The
6.97mm by 5.20mm faceted ovals of blue topaz are a beautiful sky blue
and have a total weight of 1.9 carats. December's birthstone is
perfectly complemented by the cool gleam of polished silver.
The
pear-shaped garnets are a deep brownish-red. They measure 7.13mm by
5.97mm and have a total weight of 1.6 carats. The birthstone for those
born in January, garnet boasts a notable brilliance due to its high
refraction of light.
The rectangular grapefruit-yellow
citrines measure 7.95mm high by 5.63mm wide and have a total weight of
1.9 carats. Named for the French word for lemon (citron), this gemstone
was revered as a gift from the sun in ancient times and is one of two
birthstones for November.
The trillion-shaped amethysts
measure 6.40mm high by 7.09mm wide and have a total weight of 1.25
carats. They display a captivating light purple color. Amethyst has
long been prized by royalty because of its regal hue. It is the
birthstone for those born in February.
The five pairs of gems
are cradled in sterling silver wire baskets with decorative scroll-like
curves and a beautiful polished finish. They are featured on posts with
butterfly friction backs.
Customer Reviews
Look as beautiful as in the pictures
This is the first time I ordered jewelry online, and I was prepared
to be disappointed, considering you are getting 5 pairs of earings for
about $40. Although the earrings looked beautiful in the pictures, I
was thinking, well, they may look horrible in real (as many things you
buy from online are). But I was totally surprised by how nice and
beautiful these earrings are when I received them today. They look
exactly like in the picture, and the gems are not small at all ( I was
also expecting them to be tiny tiny gems). I especially like the
peridot and the amethyst ones. Very nice color and shape. The garnet
ones are not as red as I would have liked, but again, considering the
price, they are worthy enough.
Please heed negative reviews regarding drooping on the ear!
I bought these for my 83 year old mom, she loves jewelry and helped
me pick these out. We thought it would be a good deal for the price.
She was happy with the look of the stones when they arrived, but as
others have noted, these stones are mounted at the end of a rather deep
mount (almost 1/4 inch) which makes them rather top heavy. Unless you
have very thick and meaty ear lobes, these earrings are going to droop
downwards, not sit pretty on your ear as you would expect. Needless to
say, my moms ear lobes are very thin, as soon as she put them in her
ears, they drooped downward at a 45 degree angle. She was very
displeased with these and we sent them back for a refund.
Great Value
Even the previous reviews don't do justice to these earrings. I
believe this is truly the best "deal" I've ever gotten. The earrings
are absolutely beautiful - well cut, well set. The colors are vibrant,
and identical to the photo. One reviewer thought the garnet too dark,
but it's really a beautiful garnet - deep red without being "black"
like so many cheaper garnets. When you consider that you're paying less
than $10/pair the quality is astounding. [...] Delivery was typical of
any other Amazon purchase.
