Elegant and beautiful
This is a pretty necklace. However unlike the other two reviews I am unable to rate this necklace a full five stars. It just falls a tad short due to two reasons.
The gemstone portion of the necklace is fairly small. It covers only a fraction of the neck. So for the rest of the neck it is just the gold chain.
The gemstones itself are definitely not as vivid as pictured. This is true for all the stones except the teardrop garnet. Due to the pale colors the garnet in contrast really attracts attention at the base of the necklace.
The introductory price under $30 makes this a worthwhile purchase.

Shiny yet subtle well made better than picture
I bought these earrings in a whimsical mood; I love multi-gemstone settings but rarely find one I like well enough to buy.
I got these at the special intro price of $17.99 which supported my whimsy.
A couple of design features are NOT obvious in the picture and they are important. First the silver setting itself is very slightly convex vertically so the lower edge curves in under the earlobe a tiny bit. Nice!
Next but really first and I would have snapped these up sooner if it had been pictured this way: The two earrings are mirror images. See the garnets in opposite corners of each earring? In the pair I got and I hope this is standard throughout the batch one earring had the garnet in the upper left/lower right and the other in the upper right/lower left. It's just a really nice design element.
I said "shiny yet subtle" by which I mean the different colored sparkling stones give you the shiny but the fairly small size [about 1/4" x 13/16" by my pica stick] means that unless you have a really tiny head and face they are not going to scream LOOK AT ME!! from your ears. They'll just whisper it.
Made in China if that matters to you. I'm not a gemologist so I can't attest to the quality of the stones. Doesn't matter to me at this size. Nice colors and well matched stones.
Came in a nice little pouch to keep these sparklers in packed into a little box. But while this has nothing to do with the product ... it came in a HUGE box from Amazon. Good thing I recycle cardboard!

Stunning!It's simply gorgeous and the picture doesn't do it justice. The amethyst garnet and smokey topaz stones are all very rich in hue while the others are more pastel shades. This gives the bracelet the contrast it needs to stand out! I purchased this as a gift for my mother-in-law and I love it so much I'm back to order another for myself! This bracelet is not one to be on the fence about and the price I paid was unbelievable for the quality of the stones and work involved to construct it.
