Sterling Silver Peridot, Garnet, Amethyst, Blue Topaz & Citrine Individually Boxed Stud Earring Set

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.

Sterling Silver Peridot, Garnet, Amethyst, Blue Topaz & Citrine Individually Boxed Stud Earring Set Reviews

Good for the price
I ordered this set on deal of the day, and I figured that the stones would be cloudy and not clear. When they arrived I was very surprised at how clear and clean all my stones were. My only issue is one earring had a back that was broken, I wasn’t too concerned since I usually switch the backs out to plastic ones so they are more comfortable and secure.

I kept 2 pair for myself, and the other 3 I gave as gifts. When you do the math, 7 dollars a pair is the best deal any where! So for the small issue 4 stars, if not for that I’d give 5.

I haven’t had any issues with the earrings drooping, as others mentioned, on my ears nor any of the recipients. I think it is just a matter of where your ears were pierced on your ear lobe (like how centered, or how low, etc.) that can make them droop. They are not heavy for me at all, I really like them. They are a pretty good size, so for a child they may be too large. I gave one pair to my 16 year old niece, and she was thrilled, especially being her birthstone (november/citrine) and they were the perfect size for her.

I would order these again for gifts even at the full price.
