I've ordered at least a dozen pairs of earrings from Great Offer Stock over the past few months and these are BY FAR my favorite! They look just like they do in the picture...maybe even better! The green amethyst stones are clear and bright, they're beautifully cut, and for green amethyst- the color is outstanding! Green amethyst is supposed to be a muted pale green, not like peridot at all. I own a green amethyst ring, and the color of that amethyst is not as nice as the stones in these earrings. The setting is classic looking and very well done. Kudos to the artists who make these. Included with the earrings is a card which explains how a portion of each sale benefits children in India, and the company supports fair trade. What a great buy!
