I was very disappointed by this order. The garnet, peridot and blue topaz were okay, though the topaz were on the pale side. The citrine were more green than yellow and the stones were of noticably different sizes. The amtheyst were so pale as to be colorless and one was entirely clouded--completely unwearable. Many of these had bent prongs, making it difficult to get the backs on and off.  At the clearance price, it's probably a reasonable buy for someone needing a range of inexpensive stones to complete their jewelry wardrobe (or buying cheap for multiple piercings), but I'll be returning these and looking for better quality merchandise.
