Sterling SIlver Pendant Set
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The necklaces are very nice. The stones are set well and just the right size to wear. The chains are weak. I have broken two of them already. But for the price, just having the pendants to wear with a better chain I already have, it was well worth the purchase.

Better than I expected!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Looking at the reviews I decided to take a chance on these. I actually broke it out into 5 Christmas gifts (pendant + matching earrings) for coworkers. When I received them I was amazed at just how nice they were. The recipients were thrilled. They each loved their gift. I was extremely pleased that the quality was just as others had commented on. In fact, once I saw them it was hard to give them away!

Measurement for the pendants
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am pleasantly surprised by the colors of the pendants, which more or less match the product image (although in sunlight, my citrine pendant appears more golden yellow than the orange-yellow in the product image, and the blue topaz is more of a watery sky blue, but not so pale that you can’t tell it is a blue topaz). Some of the other reviewers mentioned the pendants being bigger than they expected, so I included some measurements for all five pendants. The width is measured for the widest point.
Garnet: 18×5mm; stone alone: 9×5mm
Citrine: 18×6mm; stone alone: 8×6mm
Amethyst: 16×8mm; stone alone: 8mm
Blue Topaz: 17×6mm; stone alone: 9×6mm
Peridot: 17×7mm; stone alone: 7mm
All except the peridot appear flawless to the eye, and even the wisp of inclusion in the peridot pendant is barely visible in sunlight (the color is a bit darker than shown in the product image, a brilliant apple green). I got them for under 8 dollars per pendant, but even at full price, the quality of the pendants makes purchasing this set worth it.

Awesome Deal, but be prepared for a color difference on two…

These are beautiful, and I feel very proud to give them to my niece for her 21st birthday, an occasion which requires an extra-special gift; however, there are a couple of things the buyer should know:
First, the sterling silver chain is about the thinnest and most delicate I’ve ever seen, so this is not for someone who doesn’t care for things well or is clumsy. Also, the colors of the amethyst and the blue topaz, and to a lesser degree, the citrine, are not true on the website. The blue topaz almost looks clear. Only in the light can you get the traces of blue, and the amethyst is very light as well. The peridot is gorgeous, and the garnet is a dark stone to begin with, so that’s not a problem. They did not come in blue pouches, as was specified; rather, they came in five small black boxes which were put together with a white cardstock sleeve in a long strip. I ordered the matching earrings as well, and they do match perfectly. Be aware that nowhere on the boxes does it tell what the stones are or that it is sterling silver, or any information whatsoever.
So, except for the washed out color on a couple of the stones, I am thrilled, especially with the price (I also got the 30% discount).

Very Pretty and Delicate.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have to agree with other reviewers that the colors are not as strong as they appear in the picture. That being said, however, they do have nice color to them. The chains are very delicate and pretty.
The necklaces all come packed in a long white sleeve (inside are the 5 black boxes). So, you could give these all as one gift or split them up.
All in all, worth the sale price. Recommend.

Love these necklaces
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love these necklaces. They all have good color, and I don’t find that the chains are flimsy as other reviewers have found. I wear them often and they are a versatile and beautiful addition to my jewelery collection.

Good value for money
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
These necklaces are incredible value for money, my peridot has a strand of other material in the stone, this is only noticeable close up, but a shame.
Like other reviews I think the chains are a little fragile, but a replacement silver chain doesn’t cost very much!

Could be a nice set, but getting 1 star for lack of quality control!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This set was given as a gift from my children to their mom. The citrine stone has a large crack/chip in the back that is magnified when looking through the front. This ruins the piece! Where is the quality control? When this stone was set, what was the jeweler thinking? As soon as you look at it your eyes are drawn to the defect. Not Good! Now the problem is ours, it seems we cannot echange just one piece of this set. We have to send the entire set back and hope we recieve a quality set in return. Some may think this is harsh, but this is not some machine made piece. A person held this in their hand, saw the defect, and shipped it anyway! Shame on you Amazon for letting defective jewerly be sold from your own collection, and bringing sadness to my children!

Good necklaces at a good price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The gemstones are all clean and the findings are well made. The necklace is lightweight but acceptable. We’ve given a couple as gift and the adult recipients were very happy.
