Amazon.com Product Description
Exquisite pear-shaped green amethyst stones are showcased in 14 karat yellow gold in these unique and distinctive earrings. The amethyst stones have a delicate light green color and a beautiful faceted cut that gives them great depth and sparkle. They are held securely in three-prong settings that allow light to filter through their facets, enhancing their appearance. The settings, posts, and friction back pieces are all made from popular and durable 14 karat yellow gold. Green amethyst, also known as Prasiolote, is an unusual green variety of quartz that is considered a collector's gemstone. An extremely durable gemstone, it holds up well to everyday wear.

 waste of money July 14, 2008
cant decipher if its a blurry piece of glass or what. the setting is not good as well. the prongs are way above the stone. overall, this is a cheap quality piece.

These earrings are lovely. They are clear and bright. The color is a very, very light green. It is not like a peridot green. It is like a clear white stone with just a subtle hint of emerald green. Do not expect any bright color - it is very subtle and soft. Very well made and solid prongs. A+++

This was a gift for a family member. It was the perfect size and color needed to match a ring. She loved it.

These are pretty earrings, I purchased for a friend and actually was quite surprised at how nice they look. The color is suppose to be a very pale green from what I've seen and that is what they look like. A nice size, not to big, not too small.

When I purchased these on August 18, there was not a picture of the item. Part of this is my fault for not being familiar with green amethyst and for buying something sight unseen. However, I don't think it was unreasonable of me to expect some definitive green. The description says that this stone is part of the quartz family; think quartz here with a washed out greyish green color. The picture, which is now posted, is fairly accurate but more definitive in color than what you will receive. They are also larger than I anticipated. The minimum total gem weight is listed as 1.74 carats, which would be roughly .87 carat per earring. My earrings present to be about 1.5 to 2 carats each, which means they are pretty large, probably due to the fact that this stone is fairly lightweight. The tip of the pear to the bottom is 3/8 inch. Amazon ran these on special for $20.99, on a percentage off sale, but if I had this to do over, I wouldn't pay more than $10 for them, although the gold housing on the stones is probably worth the price I paid. In my opinion, they are not suitable for gift giving either.
