The photo online shows a clear difference between the color of the two stones.  The contract in colors, to me is what really made these look so elegant.  They were purchased as a gift and I did't have an opportunity to replace them with another gift.  The person was grateful for the gift and only I know how they should/hoped they would look.  I'm afraid this is a trend with this brand.  I would not have purchased this item if the photo truly reflected what I received.
