These earrings are gorgeous! I am a jewelry consultant by trade so I was skeptical of these earrings at first. The stones are a nice rich emerald color and do not look cartoonish. Their only fault is that the posts are a bit thick to go through my piercings comfortably. This is not a problem I have ever had with earrings so I assume its just the posts. I can get them in but my ears are a little sore for a while.Very pretty, but the metal is soft and the earring broke when I was putting on the back. Only wore a few times.Larger than expected ... quality is okBought these as a gift for my sister - she loved them! I was pleasantly surprised at how large they were - quite big for studs. They also came in a nice giftbox.The earrings are kind of small.I gave the earrings & matching necklace as a gift- my cousin loved them- stones are very orange. Necklace chain was unique & pretty. Nice for the price.Perfect for what I was looking for. Well made. Just the right size, not too big or too small!liked
