My husband gave me these earrings and a green amethyst braclet for Chistmas.  This was an addition to the green amethyst neclace and ring that he gave me the previous year for Christmas.  I love the emerald cut and the way the earrings clip into the ears.  You do not need a back for these and I always appreciate that.  They are the perfect length even with my longer hair.  They compliment all of my other green amethyst jewelry perfectly.  I always receive compliments and comments on any of the green amethyst items that I wear.  When I wear them all at one time people always notice and compliment.  The quality and the price are good.  This was a perfect choice for this jewelry lover.
