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.

 Look as beautiful as in the pictures March 3, 2005

This is the first time I ordered jewelry online, and I was prepared to be disappointed, considering you are getting 5 pairs of earings for about $40. Although the earrings looked beautiful in the pictures, I was thinking, well, they may look horrible in real (as many things you buy from online are). But I was totally surprised by how nice and beautiful these earrings are when I received them today. They look exactly like in the picture, and the gems are not small at all ( I was also expecting them to be tiny tiny gems). I especially like the peridot and the amethyst ones. Very nice color and shape. The garnet ones are not as red as I would have liked, but again, considering the price, they are worthy enough.
 Please heed negative reviews regarding drooping on the ear! April 3, 2007

I bought these for my 83 year old mom, she loves jewelry and helped me pick these out. We thought it would be a good deal for the price. She was happy with the look of the stones when they arrived, but as others have noted, these stones are mounted at the end of a rather deep mount (almost 1/4 inch) which makes them rather top heavy. Unless you have very thick and meaty ear lobes, these earrings are going to droop downwards, not sit pretty on your ear as you would expect. Needless to say, my moms ear lobes are very thin, as soon as she put them in her ears, they drooped downward at a 45 degree angle. She was very displeased with these and we sent them back for a refund.

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.
 Sticks way out off your ear. 3D looks totally peculiar February 5, 2006

Was really disappointed after reading all the positive reviews. Surprised no one mentioned just how three dimentional these earrings (setting not stones) are. Just wanted simple studs. Stones are beautiful and great colors it is a shame the setting juts so far off your ear. Looking forward a person would only see a thick metal holder. From the side they see the nice stones. Bizarre!
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:
