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.

 great value, great gifts January 6, 2009
Lovely earrings made five very nice gifts at a great price at less than $10 a pair.
GORGEOUS! December 18, 2008
These earrings just arrived, and they're GORGEOUS! They're larger than I thought they'd be; the stones are about 1/4" at their widest point, and the round peridots are just a bit smaller. I ordered them as gifts for some of my nieces, and it will hard to part with them. Time to order another set for Auntie!
 Lovely. December 18, 2008
Very nice earrings. Had no problem with drooping. Like that they are single packed to that I can give some as gifts. Great gold box price. Do wish they said they were genuine stones.
Suprisingly More Beautiful Than Imagined December 14, 2008
I got these on a Gold Box deal, well worth it. These gems in their settings were a lot better than I thought they would be. You have to be cautious when purchasing jewelry on line.
The Amethyst does seem a bit pink more than purple, which I kind of liked better. The Garnet does appear to be more orange than a dark red. The other stones are true to color.
I have thick lobes and I do think the posts are very thin and very long. I usually don't have the problem of getting poked by earrings when lying down or talking on the phone but that is common with these.
I am giving 4 stars for the color that is off and for the extra long/thin posts. I suppose if you have really fat lobes the length would be great.
I do recommend these as they make great gifts. They come in individual little black jewelry boxes.
Loveed these earrings December 10, 2008
I ordered these when they were offered for $35 in lightening deals. Worth the money I paid. The earrings look beautiful. Even My husband liked them and complimented me when I was wearing one of those.
