I wanted earrings in real green turquoise.  I didn't want something too large or heavy.  I have a preference for delicate, elegant jewelry, but stone of any kind has its limitations.  These earrings caught my eye because of the season(trees/bells?)  I took a chance.  I gave them 5 stars, not because they are my ideal in jewelery, but because they are comfortable, true to color and finely made.  I wouldn't want them to be larger or heavier, but that is a matter of personal taste.
