I purchased these because I inherited a garnet silver bracelet from my great grandmother and the metal detailing on these earrings is similar. I was excited about receiving these and even more thrilled when they arrived days before expected. They are stunning. However; if you hold these in direct sunlight, the stones look brown. Also, if you view them from the side, each earring is bent in what looks like an accident. I bought a ring from this company too and with the earrings and ring, i can wear my family bracelet (which is antique) and people think they were bought together.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sterling-Silver-Marcasite-Marquise-Garnet-Ring-Size-5-6-7-8-9/dp/B0006OJ6Y6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sterling Silver Marcasite Marquise Garnet Ring (Size 5,6,7,8,9)</a>
