I purchased these earrings originally as a gift for one friend, selecting the garnet earrings. They were literally so beautiful I gasped. The quality of the product was amazingly top notch, considering the price was so low! So I promptly ordered two more sets for two more friends. I would have ordered more - but I had already purchased gifts for everyone on my list. Highly recommend this to anyone on a budget. They are very delicate, small, SHINY, look expensive -- and really beautiful. I can see how the garnet earrings sold-out. The amethyst earrings are still beautiful, but the garnet , by far is the best choice.
