Sterling Silver Garnet and Peridot Earrings (India)

Pretty earrings. I like them a lot, but would not pay any more for them had I seen them in person first . (Eg they look the amount I paid for them, whereas a lot of overstock merchandise look more expensive than cost). The red is a little more brown than the ruby color I was expecting, but they're still lovely. Measurements are accurate. Huge plus is the weight -- not heavy on the ears, but still substantia. They feel like they will last.

they have the weight of a quality product yet aren't too heavy to pull on my ears (women will know what I'm talking about.) They look like they cost so much more than the price. Fine quality jewlery.

I loved these earrings on the website & out of the box. However, when wearing them, they hang sideways & when you are looking in the mirror head-on & all you see is the chunky silver mounting. The workmanship is otherwise beautiful & the colors of the gemstones work well with many outfits. They can be worn dressy or casual. They are lighter in weight than what I imagined & do not pull down on your earlobe - so that is a plus! The picture above shows the silver to have a golden look, that is just the trick of the pic - they are brightly polished silver with antiquing in the front. Also, the picture seems to widen them a bit, they are slightly more narrow than what is shown.

I gave this as a gift, they are so pretty, great workmanship, 3-dimensional and not too heavy. I may have to buy a pair for myself
