This is my first review but feel this offering was worth the time. I purchased another set of sapphire earrings for my wife, from another vendor, and was so disappointed I returned them. I found this set and even though there were no reviews, I thought I'd give them a try. When they arrived, I was thrilled! The sapphire stones were much bigger than I imagined. They had a nice dark hue, unlike some of the sapphires you see out there that look milky or transparent. Best of all - they matched each other! There's nothing worse than having a set of earrings where the stones don't match. They arrived in a classy ribbon tied box inside a velvety pouch and came with a certificate of authenticity. At $60, I think these were an incredible buy.I have cabochon Mexican opals in a ring and wanted something to match. My reing is gold, these are silver and the stones are faceted, so not a great match, but pretty, none-the-less. Small, but not too small, nice bright stones. a good buy, and I will wear them happily. Rated 4 stars only because I really wanted cabs,Look great on. I wear them all the time.Practical and beautifulThese earrings are just beautiful. They could be worn with anything from jeans to a formal gown.
