This earring and pendant set is nothing less than BEAUTIFUL! I didn't really know what to expect with this purchase because it's so hard to tell what jewelry is going to look like in person, by only looking at photos. Also I had never purchased amber before (of any color), but I liked the green tones and thought it looked like it would be very pretty, and IT IS! This set appears to be very well made, the metals are thick/substantial, and the stones are good sized (but by no means, too big or gaudy) and clear. Though substantial, the earrings are not "heavy on the ears." The stones are shiny, sort of a transparent, reflective green shades, and look sort of "splotchy," in a good way...hard to describe, but they are just very pretty.

Although I didn't realize prior to purchasing, if you look closely, you can see that the earrings are open (sort of drop out of the metal) at the bottom. The pendant does not retain the same "open-bottom" shape, but rather the metal wraps (or "claws" up) around the entire stone. If I had to register one tiny complaint about the set, it would be that I wish the pendant retained the exact same, open-bottomed styling as the earrings because the effect on the earrings is just "stunning." However, I still like the pendant as is, but that would have made the set perfect, in my opinion. That said, I am still completely happy with this set, and feel it was a GREAT VALUE at the price I paid. I daresay the earrings are now among the prettiest ones I own, and I will very likely purchase more amber pieces in the future!

I also want to note that the shipping was fast, and the jewelry was nicely packaged for gift-giving, or just, in general. This is always nice to see!

*A note to this company: You have beautiful products and sometimes offer great deals on your amber jewelry, but I would love to see some "free shipping" options. :)
