The earrings were everything I had expected, and more: The emeralds are a good size with a wonderful cut. They are a beautiful deep, clear green set firmly in a simple gold setting. Well worth the money. The only trifle I have is that the small blue box the earrings came in is not constructed properly- one end of it sticks out rather unattractively.

As circumstances have changed, I am unsure of who I'll give these to, but I am sure they will be delighted.
