3.0 out of 5 stars
For the money this is a fairly nice set but..., August 19, 2009
This review is from: Certified Genuine Honey Amber and Sterling Silver Flaming Sun Earrings and Pendant Set, 18" (Jewelry)
I wish I had opted to purchase a different item.
The charms themselves are nice with an open-backed setting that could potentially allow for backlighting under the right conditions. The problems that I personally have with this set are as follows:
The earring charms are set on the silver hooks in such a way that the charms run parallel to the side of one's head rather than perpendicular--so the suns cannot be seen when observed straight on. Since the amber cannot be backlit in this configuration they appear rather dark instead of illuminated. This is very disappointing...I'm contemplating trying to bend the hooks in some way so that the suns fall perpendicular to my face, as I think this will show-off the amber MUCH better.
The necklace chain doesn't match the style of charm very well. The charm is sort of antiqued and the chain is very bright. Also, the chain is too thin and fragile looking to go well with the thicker, "chunkiness" of the silver on the charm.
The seller's description is accurate and this set is acceptable for the price. But if you are looking for a stellar amber set I'd suggest considering another item.

Surprise. Good Jewelry on the Net, August 24, 2008
This review is from: Certified Genuine Honey Amber and Sterling Silver Flaming Sun Earrings and Pendant Set, 18" (Jewelry)
Having worked in a jewelery store for two years I know good from bad from indifferent. Most of what I have seen on the Internet until now has been overpriced junk. Not this time, however. The earrings and pendant were good solid pieces my old place of business would have been happy to sell and the price was somewhere well south of what we could have sold it for.

Small, May 11, 2011
This review is from: Certified Genuine Honey Amber and Sterling Silver Flaming Sun Earrings and Pendant Set, 18" (Jewelry)
I bought these thinking they would be somewhat sizable. I thought the pendant would be about the size of a quarter, and the earrings the size of a nickel, or thereabouts. However, they are all three quite small, and whenever amber is that tiny it is hard to see what stone it is in the first place. If you are looking for something dainty, this is for you. If you want it to be a decent size, keep looking.
