I bought these to match a beautiful bracelet made out of the same stones. Both were purchased from Amazon and were by the same brand, and I was amazed at the discrepancy between the items.

The stones in these earrings have a tendency to get cloudy and even dirty. They do clean up OK and look better eventually, but the stones are very small and light in color, except for the garnet, which is a rusty brown color. The stones don't really show up from much of a distance away.

With that said, I do wear these on occasion. They are very comfortable and the clasp is secure. And I do like having a pair of earrings to perfectly match my bracelet, even if they are very subtle. I think I paid something like $20 for these; if they cost any more than that, I'd skip them.
