Add sparkle and variety to your wardrobe with this set of five individually boxed sterling silver stud earrings, showcasing five different colored gemstones. Now you can wear a different pair of earrings for each day of the work week, or more closely match the colors of your couture. The set includes one pair each of generously sized peridot, blue topaz, garnet, citrine, and amethyst studs. The total combined weight of all ten gemstones is 8.25 carats.
The 6.67mm round peridot studs have a striking lime green color and a total weight of 1.6 carats. These evening emeralds as the Romans called them, are gorgeous in both natural and artificial light.
The 6.97mm by 5.20mm faceted ovals of blue topaz are a beautiful sky blue and have a total weight of 1.9 carats. December’s birthstone is perfectly complemented by the cool gleam of polished silver.
The pear-shaped garnets are a deep brownish-red. They measure 7.13mm by 5.97mm and have a total weight of 1.6 carats. The birthstone for those born in January, garnet boasts a notable brilliance due to its high refraction of light.
The rectangular grapefruit-yellow citrines measure 7.95mm high by 5.63mm wide and have a total weight of 1.9 carats. Named for the French word for lemon (citron), this gemstone was revered as a gift from the sun in ancient times and is one of two birthstones for November.
The trillion-shaped amethysts measure 6.40mm high by 7.09mm wide and have a total weight of 1.25 carats. They display a captivating light purple color. Amethyst has long been prized by royalty because of its regal hue. It is the birthstone for those born in February.
The five pairs of gems are cradled in sterling silver wire baskets with decorative scroll-like curves and a beautiful polished finish. They are featured on posts with butterfly friction backs.more info

Beautiful an Classy!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love how each pair of earrings comes in its own box. They are all beautiful and unique. It’s not like all five pair of earrings are set the same way. The colors are magnificent. I would be happy getting these as a gift, and I think they make a great gift to give. I will continue to look for these to go on sale again. I am 100% pleased with this purchase.

durable, and wonderful value
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought these earrings for myself over two years ago and still love them. All the stones are brightly colored and well sized. My personal favorite are the Citrine. I have no problems with the earrings sitting awkwardly as some have noted. I keep the backing as close to my ear as possible without discomfort, and have not found them to tilt. I am 23 and have rather small ears and earlobes, but then again everyone is different. I think these were a great value then, and still are! They all came in little separate boxes that could have been used for gifting, but these were a gift for myself.

Great Value for the Set
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The earrings arrived 2 or 3 days after I bought them when they were on sale with the gold box special. They were a great value. My only complaint was that the blue topaz and the purple amethyst were very light in color.

Studs for your wardrobe
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
As I get older, I find that I prefer smaller earrings and sometimes, a stud is all I want to wear. I have wanted these earrings for a while but finally broke down and bought them earlier this month. I have to say that I am more than delighted by them. The silver settings are quite pretty. The color of the stones is vibrant.
A couple reviews indicated that they are too heavy so, when I ordered the earrings, I also ordered Earring Stabilizers. It was a good decision. When I first took a pair out of the box, I immediately noticed the weight. They are substantial. The earring stabilizer held the earring straight and did not let the weight of the earring make my earlobe droop. Nobody wants droopy earlobes.
I do not recommend considering these earrings for those second and third holes. They are simply too heavy for that.

Beautiful, Good Quality
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
These beautiful stud earrings came packaged together in individual boxes, which was perfect for gift giving. Between my mom and sisters, we split up the five earrings and have all been pleased with the quality and color. The different shapes allow for some variety and the colors are true to the photos. I would recommend this set as a good buy (earring set at less than $10 each) and for the quality and variety of the earrings in the set.

Fantastic!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
These are all the best of what everyone has already said. We purchased them for our daughter’s 11th birthday. They are beautiful. I am keeping the Garnets for myself, they are the darkest of the lot. The colors vary from a pale blue of the topaz to the vibrant green and golden lemony yellow of the citrine and peridot. The stones are very clear with no visible flaws and the setting is a pretty little filagree look. These are an EXCELLENT set. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Fabulous

Ear rings were for my daughter and they were beautiful. She also received the matching necklaces from another relative. So classy.

Pleasantly Surprised
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I purchased these on a lightning deal for $35. They are for a birthday present. The stones look very clear and the colors are good. They are a little larger than I thought. Nice size stones. I would have believed someone if they told me that they paid $35 for each pair. We’ll see how she likes them tomorrow.

Decent earrings
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The stones are very nice and the settings are decent quality, but I agree with other reviewers who have noted that they stick out rather far on the earlobes. The settings are just too deep, and it gives them a rather awkward look when worn–to my eyes anyway. They’re not really bad, but just not anything special. If you don’t mind the deep setting, then they are pretty good quality for the money when you can get them at Gold Box prices.
