 Pretty earrings for price September 9, 2008
I purchased these for some bridesmaids to wear in my summer wedding. Good color & nice weight. Matched the "meadow" green dresses perfectly. Peridot is linked to "matrimonial happiness...."
 Pretty but too dainty for its own good April 20, 2008
I bought these for my sister for her birthday with the accompanying bracelet. Both are very nice looking pieces of costume type jewelry. Not lavish but cute. The earrings are not put together well. Within an hour of putting them on, she lost the pearl out of one earring. It just fell off. We found it eventually and put it back on but now she's too scared to wear them again.
OK for "starter" earrings for a pre-teen ... April 18, 2008
21 out of 21 found this review helpful
Amazon sent an ad for longer drop-earrings, which would have been too ostentatious for my neighbor's twelve-year-old daughter, so I looked around and found these in a more appropriate length.
I was a little disappointed when I began reading the reviews; some buyers were satisfied, some not. Since peridot is Amy's birthstone and the picture so appealing, I decided to take a chance.
When they arrived, there were some things I liked about them, some things not, but I'm still giving them to her because I figure she's young and they will serve adequately as "starter" earrings. Like most of us, she'll probably lose or break one before too long anyway. So what the heck! Meanwhile, she'll get some enjoyment from them.
The peridot chips are a nice size and, actually, quite lovely--a popular shade of green that's uniform throughout the stones--but the pearls leave much to be desired. As other reviewers noted, the pearls have flaws and are NOT round as the picture depicts. I think I "hit" and "missed" on this product because, though flawed, at least both pearls are flawed in the same way, giving them a uniform appearance.
If you're not seeking perfection in these earrings and consider them to be a "fresh and fun way to wear pearls," then I can recommend them. I would definitely not recommend them for a discerning woman, but for pre-teen or teen girls who are seeking their first adult jewelry, it's a good way to start.
I think Amy will see the beauty in the colors and style, thus delighting in this gift, so I'm not returning them. I'll know for sure in August when her birthday rolls around.

 Oh, well..... March 21, 2008
These poor little earrings! A sprinkle of peridot chips atop what could have been a singularly lovely teardrop-shaped pearl - if it didn't have a groove that goes around it, smack dab in the middle! Did someone have to use forceps when they harvested these? It would cost more for me to send them back than to keep them - I wouldn't even give these away as a gift (not to someone I actually liked, at least).
Hit or Miss? March 16, 2008
If you're looking for perfection in these earrings, then these arent for you. From a distant, these looked good enough and satisfied me enough to keep; nice green color with pearls, can't really go wrong.
Unlike the picture where it shows SMOOTH oblong pearls, mine had lines horizontally around each pearl, so because the lines were on BOTH earrings, they were uniform in imperfection. Also, from a distant, it's not noticeable. The size is just right, not small that it goes unnoticed, but not big and gaudy either. Nice weight, won't weigh down your lobes.
However, I also purchased these in the amethyst, but the amethyst were terrible. The purple colored looked bleach in spots and the pearls on those were so bug-like and fake with terrible lines right down it, that it looked like plastic. I ended up returning those.
So I can definitely see that these can be a hit or miss.
I liked these though: affordable, nice color combination, nice size and unique.
