Saw the exact pair, at least the looked the same at a local store.  I couldn't tell the difference if I had to.  These were less than half the price, so I wasn't expecting the quality of the ones in the store.  Boy, was I wrong!  Gave these to my wife as she really likes garnet stones.  She is absolutely pleased with these, they look great and much more expensive.  Don't think I could have done better pleasing her.  A beautiful quality product that I was proud to give.
