Birthstone Stud Earrings

Purchased these in ‘emerald.” The color and refractive properties of the manmade stones are good enough to make these believable. Their modest size adds to that realism. If they were any larger, they would absolutely scream “fake.” The settings and earring backs are excellent quality for this price point, and a nice presentation box is included. I recently purchased 1 carat Lightbox diamond earrings (lab grown diamonds) and was shocked to see how cheap the settings were — and that they come in a super-tacky cardboard gift box. These earrings, in contrast, are a good value all around: they are small enough to be worn by a very young woman, but large enough to not look silly on an older lady like me. (It always puzzles me when reviewers complain that jewelry isn’t too small. The dimensions are provided in the listing. Buy a ruler!)
