I enjoyed these earrings when I received them although the color was a little cloudy. I had expectations of wearing them outside and seeing more sparkle and shine in the sun light but, was slightly disappointed. Indoors and out these earrings are just a cloudy purple color with very little hint of greens. Not impressed compared to what I saw online and was expecting. The size is true to a carat as in the description but, lacks everything you are expecting if it's a multi colored topaz.
