which would probably dull the sparkle

Very sparkly, in fact, I ordered two more. But within a month, one of the stones has fallen out and is lost. I don't know if I should return the ring or find a jewelry repair. It appears from looking in the gap that the stones are held in place by nearness to each other and part of the rim of the ring, no adhesive, which would probably dull the sparkle.

I just bought a garnet pair of these 2.00 ct. silver French wire earrings.

Per some of the feedback below, I did not feel that any of the descriptions were misleading (such as size, product type or hanging mechanism), but the photo taken of the ad VERSUS what you actually get is a bit different.

As one person noted below, these will be VERY small earrings.  The picture makes them look much bigger than they really are. They almost photograph like 4 ct. earrings vs. the 2 ct. you will get.  They seem suited better for young girls or teens versus adult women.  They do hang and dangle gently from the fishback hook mechanism that goes into your ears.  Most will need the clear stopper in back to keep them from falling out and getting lost.  Once in, they are pretty - just quite small.

The biggest drawback is the color.  What you get  is not a beautiful rich vibrant zesty red as the ad shows. You have to move the earrings just right to get that color profile they show. Move it another way and it is a cloudy dark red.  Were these 4 ct. earrings, they would be more similar. With 2 cts. - if light does not hit just right at the back of the stone,  the color is a much darker wine red as noted and no sparkle happens.  Let's face it, if the color doesn't work, often the earring doesn't work. This one seems off. Not bad, just could be prettier.

Theses earrings seem to be nicely made, of good quality and prompt processing/delivery.

I am giving 3 stars as they are good - they could just be better.

Be aware of the pros/cons before ordering. Enough feedback has come in now to see what you will or will not get when buying these.

When I read that this bronzer gave a "natural.....glow", I did not expect it to have bright sparkles in it.  I'm not of an age to do sparkly makeup.  And actually, even when I was at that age, I didn't go in for sparkles.  Yes, I did look at the close up picture of the make up on this product page, but I just did not make the connection.  The inclusion of tiny sparkles in this bronzer is a disappointment to me.  Neither the words "natural, radiant, sun-kissed glow", not the pictures, conveyed to me that it had so much sparkle.

The color is fairly well represented on this product page.  It may be a touch lighter than I expected, but barely.

It is easily picked up by my brush, and it applies effortlessly and smoothly.

I am enjoying the other Bliss product that I have, Exglowsion Serum Foundation, but this one is not for me.

Cute crystals but they smelled for months sitting in the open little bubble wrap bag they arrived in.  Some were broken as well.  Will they look nice hanging against lights that give them the ability to shine and sparkle?  I believe so, and I'm certainly hoping so!

I didn't realize the one I purchased would come covered in sparkles (the one with roman numerals for numbers).  You can't see that in the picture.  If I would have known, I would have went with a different variety.  It seems a little Halloween-y to me covered in black sparkles.

Not a bad case. What you don't see in the preview picture or description is that the case color has little sparkles on it. I thought it was a solid black case, but in the light you can see thousands of little sparkles. I honestly don't care enough to send it back because I really need a case, but a heads up for people who don't want glitter all over their case.

Most of these stars are due to the amazing sparkle of the stone. It is a really, really pretty stone, throwing a lot of light. The setting is uneven and a little loose, and looks cheap close-up, but honestly, the stone is so big and dazzling, anyone but the person wearing it won't be looking at the band, and the setting isn't so awful that it's immediately obviously poor. I went back and forth on considering returning it, but ultimately I kept it because the stone itself is so pretty.

The ring does sparkle. However, it was dark in the middle and does not look real. My husband thought it looked good. I would choose a ring in person over this ring for sure.

This would probably work in a brightly-lit room when your ring is on display, but don't use it to propose or you will blind your lovely lady. Needs a filter or something over the light to dim it a bit.

Even though they are pretty, the clarity was listed as a #13, which didn't mean much to me until I received the earnings.  The diamonds in the center of one of the earrings is "cloudy" to the "naked" eye.  No sparkle and is dull.  The surrounding rim of diamonds on both do sparkle, however.  The diamonds in the center of the other earing is fine.  I will keep them since I do not think anyone is going to look at them up close, but next time I will think hard about buying anything in the 12-13 clarity range.  I paid $162 so I don't know if that is a good price or not for what I received.  If it wasn't for the above, I would have given it a higher mark.

Cons:
The red gems were very, very dark on the ring I bought, but that will probably vary a lot from ring to ring.
The color and clarity for the diamonds is terrible, but the minimum clarity is listed as i2-i3, and color as J-K, so that's expected.

Mixed:
The diamonds are so tiny that you'll see more shine from the sterling silver anyway unless you look close... which would normally be a con, but since the diamond quality is so low this probably improves things.
There are only two diamonds in the ring, not several like the photo suggests. The smaller shiny bits in the channel are just shine from the shape of the silver (again, this probably makes it look better due to the low quality of the diamonds).

Pros:
The silver parts all seem great.
The heart cut looks good.
The diamond quality issues are not noticeable from a distance.

These create a nice, sparkly affect when applied over existing color, but they're pretty dull when used on their own. Also, the pearlescent affect doesn't last long -- you'd have to spray your work with a sealant as soon as it dries. All in all, they're fun to work with, but don't expect too much.

It's so cute but it looks dull once it's dry and is very gritty from the glitter. I had to wear it with shellac to get that smooth shiny top coat which really made it bling and pop.

First off, the posts are quite soft. The earrings arrived packed securely in a flat shipping box, but truly they should have been in their own little box as well -- one of the posts was flattened. I carefully bent it back into shape and hope it won't break from the metal stress.

The earrings themselves are pretty -- they catch the light very nicely but but they would sparkle in the light alot more if there was at least one more facet cut on the back area. They would also look much nicer if they were two-piece instead of one-piece -- a two-piece setup would move with the wearer and catch more light.

The color was dull compared to the pictures, I was expecting more sparkle. I don't like how the stand works. Lastly, it is very difficult to use the volume and on/off buttons while in the case because they are covered by the case. I am returning the item.

Presentation - arrive in a blue box, each set in a plastic baggie in this box, along with a small blue velvet pouch. I guess this is a "Do It Yourself" present. The posts on the earrings have the locking indentation for the backs, but also come with the small clear plastic backs that don't lock and I find them much easier to get on & off.

Metal is a bright silver, and the settings are prong and open enough to allow light around the stones, so they are bright and sparkle. Small but not tiny, about what I expected from them.

Colors though - they are very, very pale, no where near as bold as the photos. Nothing wrong with that, they are still very pretty but they are very light with just a touch of color to each.

Overall they seem very nice, but hadn't I been expecting & wanting these bold colors shown in the photos I'd have been disappointed.

So pretty much; It had a sparkle (kind of like slight glitter) in it, It dried very weird, and It didn't look like the color displayed In the picture. I'll stick to Mac.
