 OK for "starter" earrings for a pre-teen ... April 18, 2008
36 out of 37 found this review helpful
Amazon sent an ad for longer drop-earrings, which would have been too ostentatious for my neighbor's twelve-year-old daughter, so I looked around and found these in a more appropriate length.
I was a little disappointed when I began reading the reviews; some buyers were satisfied, some not. Since peridot is Amy's birthstone and the picture so appealing, I decided to take a chance.
When they arrived, there were some things I liked about them, some things not, but I'm still giving them to her because I figure she's young and they will serve adequately as "starter" earrings. Like most of us, she'll probably lose or break one before too long anyway. So what the heck! Meanwhile, she'll get some enjoyment from them.
The peridot chips are a nice size and, actually, quite lovely--a popular shade of green that's uniform throughout the stones--but the pearls leave much to be desired. As other reviewers noted, the pearls have flaws and are NOT round as the picture depicts. I think I "hit" and "missed" on this product because, though flawed, at least both pearls are flawed in the same way, giving them a uniform appearance.
If you're not seeking perfection in these earrings and consider them to be a "fresh and fun way to wear pearls," then I can recommend them. I would definitely not recommend them for a discerning woman, but for pre-teen or teen girls who are seeking their first adult jewelry, it's a good way to start.
I think Amy will see the beauty in the colors and style, thus delighting in this gift, so I'm not returning them. I'll know for sure in August when her birthday rolls around.

 Not As Pictured! Returning for Credit December 12, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased a pair of these earrings to be used as a stocking stuffer for my daughter on Xmas. I thought that they looked very beautiful in the stock picture and the positive feedback they had received from the first reviewer made me think that they would be just like the picture. I was wrong! The pearls I received on both earrings are NOT Round or Oval for that matter. Both pearls look like a two piece snowman. The pearls are eggplant shaped and have a crease/groove running around them about 2/5 the way down from the top of them. Look at my uploaded photos to see for yourself. I'm sending these back right away. Luckily they didn't cost much so I won't have to be out a lot of money while waiting for the refund credit!
Horribly, horribly ugly December 12, 2007

I completely agree with the person who said the pearls are snowman-shaped and have a large ugly groove in them. And the grossly malformed pearl was attached to the peridot chips at a crooked angle, so they don't even hang right.
Ugly, ugly, ugly.
 beautiful earrings October 17, 2007

These earrings are high quality, very beautiful, and come in a partiotioned jewelry pouch to keep the pearls from being damaged. VERY happy with purchase.
Don't waste your money December 19, 2007
I would rate these as zero if it was possible. They don't even deserve 1 star. They look nothing like the great picture shown on Amazon. I didn't know pearls could be so misshapened and ugly.
