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 February 4, 2006

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.
Beautiful! April 7, 2007

These earrings are just as beautiful as they look in the picture - in fact, better than they look in the picture. The stones are nicely colored, and are very clear and sparkly. I don't have a problem with the earrings drooping in my ears.
They came packed in good-looking satiny blue individual gift boxes inside a matching larger box. Each small box has a square of anti-tarnish paper in it, which is a nice touch. I am delighted with them - they look like expensive jewelry, but are quite reasonably priced. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase!
For people who are afraid these earring will fall forward - it is possible to buy very inexpensive acrylic disc earring stabilizer guards. The stabilizer discs keep heavy earrings flat to the ear. Earring stabilizer discs are available at craft stores.
People with small fragile earlobes might also want to take a look at the 3mm gemstone earring set instead:

FABULOUS August 15, 2005

This is such a nice set - I wear a different pair everyday. My only disappoint in them is the size - I was hoping to wear them in the top of my double pierced ears - but I can't because they are TOO BIG. I have gotten so many compliments on them. Yes, you can break them up and give them out as gifts. They would make GREAT gifts. But you will need to order 2 sets, because you will want to keep a set for yourself.
I tell everyone where I got them from!
Better than I hoped for April 20, 2005

These were way better than I thought they would be. I really love every pair. In another review the person commented on the color of the garnet not being red enough but they really are as pictured. I was also worried that the earrings would be too heavy, but I forgot I even had them on until someone complemented me. Highly recommended.
Thrilled With Beautiful Jewelry and Great Deal!!! January 25, 2007

One of the things I love about Amazon is the ability to read a review before you buy.
The reviews on these earrings are right on target. I'm so glad I bought them!
The cut, color, clarity, and shape of the stones are excellent. As illustrated the cuts are different for each pair, that's a nice touch. So far I have worn all but the Blue Topaz and I've received compliments on all of them.
My good friend playfully grabbed my earlobe when I wore the Citrine set and said, "Hmm, I thought you were on a budget...looks like that resolution didn't take." Hahahah, I am on a budget, if she only knew how much I paid for them. I actually bought these with my new allowance, best money ever spent.
She also thought they were platnium, I just smiled and shrugged my shoulders. One thing you might not catch from the pictures, these are nice sized stones. They are large and in charge and definitely going to get noticed.
This would make a great gift in part or whole. Better yet, buy them for yourself, it's the best deal you'll ever get on jewelry.
