4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty!, November 29, 2007
The color of these is a very watery pale green and I like them a lot. You can't really tell that they are green when you are wearing them unless the light hits them just so. They are much paler than the photo, but it is a nicely matched hint of green rather than a fake looking, over-done green.
These are well mounted, and all the stones have a nice cut, very sparkly, plenty of movement and easily catch the light. The earrings are not too heavy or drag down your earlobe or tip over at a weird angle on your ear. They dangle at a nice distance below your ear, not too long... very classic look.
I have metal allergies and these earring did not break me out one bit when I wore them.
I will be replacing the back - it seems kind of wimpy to me and I like a more secure feeling back.
I would give them 5 stars if they had just a tiny touch deeper green and had a better back. But that is a personal preference and does not reflect on the quality of the product. They are a good value for this price.

OMG, these are gorgeous earrings!, January 13, 2008
This review is from: 14k Yellow Gold Pear and Square Shaped Smoky-Quartz Drop Earrings (Jewelry)
OMG, when I saw the photograph of these earrings, I said, "I just gotta have those!" The rich, dark brown color looked so gorgeous on the product page, I practically drooled, imagining them adorning my ears. ... And did I have the perfect outfits to match!
When I received them, I wasn't disappointed. They ARE gorgeous--sparkly, clear, and ever so stylish. I like the way the radiant, smoky topaz gems catch the light as they dangle so gently. Swaying back and forth in a rhythm of their own, they catch the light, sending forth brilliant flashes of gold. And with not one, but three different cuts--princess, round, and pear shapes--set in 14k gold, they're absolutely stunning.
Another thing I like about them is that they complement the brown garments in my wardrobe as well as the blacks and neutrals.
The price didn't quite fit my budget, but they're worth every penny I spent ... even if it means a few less books this month. Oh, well ...

Very disappointed in the color, February 1, 2009
I was very disappointed in the purple color of the earrings when they finally arrived. The amethyst isn't the rich purple portrayed by Amazon. It's pretty washed-out looking. If I hadn't waited 2 months for them and if they weren't only $60, I would return them. However, under those circumstances, it would be more trouble than it's worth. I've bought other gemstones online and they were very true to the onscreen color. This is my first big disappointment.
