I received these earrings along with the matching ring as a gift. The earrings match the ring nicely, but also work fine alone. The colors of the amber are very nice, even though the pieces are on the smallish side. I enjoy the fact that they are not too big, but still show up nicely (I have long hair). They appear to be solidly made and I've had no problems with the quality of these or the matching ring. Amber does require a little more careful care than other stones (it can scratch easier and hairspray can make it look like plastic), so you will want to make sure you have a good place to store any amber items. The earrings and ring both came in nice boxes that I use to store them when not in use.
