Overall, I am happy with these earrings.  They are a nice size and weight and are comfortable to wear.  The color of the carnelian is a shade or two darker than I expected them to be, and is the reason I did not rate them 5 stars.  The darker color is nice, however, and will pair nicely with the colors of Autumn, which I enjoy wearing.  I would recommend these earrings but would just want others to know that in person they are darker than they appear on the screen.
