Don't waste your money on these earrings! They don't look anything like the picture! I was soo disappointed!! I think you are paying for the fact that they are white gold because the ruby is so small and looks more pinkish. I bought these because they are my father's birthstone and I wanted to honor his memory by wearing these earrings along with my diamond studs but they are so small that you can barely see them. These are more appropriate for a small child.
