This item was so tiny compared to the image online. One side of the earring the amethyst was badly damaged. The stone appears to have been grazed severely, it would be embarrassing now to give as a gift. The surface of the stone has white scratach marks as well as noticable grooves along the sides of the stone as though the earring was crushed against something hard/rough. I'm worried now about my other jewelry orders that I've not yet received.
