I was afraid these would be too light, but they are a lovely, delicate color, and definitely green.  And the cutting is just beautiful.  The setting is also very nice.  Would prefer them to be just slightly larger, but for the money, it's a great deal.  I have also ordered a pair of peridot earrings, so I can wear a darker green when I wish.  But these are just right for some of my apparel.
