Got these in emerald to complement a separately purchased pendant. Wife likes them very much. Some have commented on the earrings being smaller than expected ('for the price") but Ive found most Jewelry (especially jewelry using 14 kt gold) being more expensive compared to even a year or two ago (as gold prices continue to rise I see more Silver and 10 kt gold being offered in gemstone jewelry than in the past). I found these to be a much better deal after comparing elsewhere for similar quality jewelry. These are just right for my wife and the second "leg"  with the diamonds makes for a different style than her other "J-type" earrings and add a nice touch. Not sure why the ruby version costs more than the other options (emerald, sapphire)
