Attractively Colored but Not as Big as Expected
These peridot Sterling silver stud earrings certainly look good, and my wife really likes them. They come in a very solid, attractively colored pale blue box.<br /><br />They are, however, somewhat different in size to what I was expecting. These earrings are described as having a “7mm round peridot gemstone.” Quite frankly, from that description I expected the stones to be 7mm in diameter. The stones are not that big.<br /><br />The stones on the set that I received were actually only 5mm in diameter but if you include the Sterling silver setting they sit in then you have a width of 6.5mm. Even allowing for a percentage of measuring error by my micrometer these are still not 7mm.<br /><br />My only other quibble for these would be the backs that are supplied. They are very small and very fiddly to try and set in place. They are easy to drop when trying to put them on.<br /><br />They are a little on the expensive side for what they are considering that the stones are smaller than stated. Having said all that, they do look really nice, and they are an attractive olive-green peridot color. I would imagine anyone receiving these would be happy with them.
