I have worn 3 of the 5 pairs of the Sterling Silver Gemstones.  I have a similar set of this type of earrings and they aren't nearly as big or as pretty as these.  They are the perfect size for me, not too big nor too small.  I expected the stones to be small but they are not.  To put them in perspective the stones are just slightly smaller than  the size of a #2 pencil eraser.  The setting doesn't over power the beauty of the stone and they sparkle like a diamond!  I will tell you that the backs are tiny and a little difficult to pick up with your fingers.  I probably will replace the backs with different backs as the posts are long enough to be able to do that.  I am very happy with these Gemstone earrings.
