8/7/13...Edited - I originally rated these earrings at 5 stars because of the lovely peridot stones and the overall appearance.  It wasn't until today that the earrings were taken out of the box.  At the slightest touch, one of the earring's post bent off.  I couldn't believe it.  I have owned a lot of pairs of sterling silver earrings and I have never had this happen before.  At this point, I would not recommend these earrings to anyone.  Anything that breaks that easily can't be well made.

I am so thrilled with these earrings.  The sterling silver settings are a beautiful, bright, shiny silver color.  The stones are really gorgeous.  They are just the right size for me - a nice size for a single piercing.  I personally think they would be too large to wear in a second piercing.  The stones are a perfect green color, very sparkly and bright, matched very well, and really look so pretty in the settings.  I would recommend these earrings highly to anyone wanting an inexpensive jewelery gift or a nice pair of quality earrings for themselves.  I'm so happy I ordered these.
