Black stones can be pretty too.

Usually black stone earrings aren't very pretty, but these are very nice. Dress up or dress casual-just the thing. Very light, would've liked posts instead of the ring--somewhat difficult for me to put on by myself-had to have a 'spotter' to get them locked in right.

I've always been a fan of moss agate. They come in lovely blues and greens (my favorite color combo, and the 'moss' details within each stone make them endlessly interesting. I haven't had any in several years and was delighted to find this. Beautiful selection of stones. Love it!

These are very pretty and so far the quality seems to be good.  No stones have fallen out.  I get all kinds of Nice compliments on them.

I don't usually go for 6-prong studs, because while they lessen the chance of you losing a stone, more prongs really mean more blocked light, which means less "fire."  But these are surprisingly pretty, and the basket setting is substantial enough to feel like an intentional style element.

The setting is stamped S925 to denote the percentage of silver (i.e. 92.5%), and the earrings come with both the butterfly backings and the little silicone tips that protect your skin from getting gouged.

You can tell that they've used decent quality cubic zirconia stones by the amount of "fire."  Lower quality CZs have pale ho-hum sparkle, but higher quality CZs have sharp, cold, well-defined reflections.  These stones have a nice amount of light, however, the color is a little less saturated in person than it appears online; from a distance they look more like pale lavender than vivid purple.  But it's still a pretty color.

Keep in mind that 6 prongs makes the earring more front-heavy, so if you're like me, and have uneven piercings, where one is quite close to the bottom of your earlobe, then you may need to brace them with those special large plastic disc backings instead.

As a final note, I feel I should point out that while these are very pretty, you can actually get genuine amethyst gemstone studs this size (~2 carats) for roughly the same price---just look on Overstock or Groupon--there are tons of options on any given day.  They may not be heirloom quality at that price point, but at least they're real.  Just something to keep in mind.

This was a great mix of stones. I ended up with a lot of rose quartz, unakite, and green quartz, which are among my favorites. I also got a few pieces of red jasper, brecciated jasper, a large piece of hematite, a little bit of citrine and lemon quartz, some peach and green aventurine, among others. I was impressed to find only a few pieces of snow quartz. All in all, great for the price.

I haven't taken this ring off since I received it---that's how gorgeous it is.  It's prettier in person than the product images show, because then "black gold" is really more like dark gunmetal in person, and the contrast is very striking and moody, without looking like something from Hot Topic.  The unusual thing about this ring is how the green crystals are dark and rich, while still remaining vivid green in low light.  Even in dim lighting, you can tell you're looking at a green stone.

The setting is traditional, but manages to be edgy, due to the squared off cuts, and the moody, saturated colors.  When I saw this ring in the product listing, I thought it was pretty, but in person it far exceeds expectations. The princess cut center stone is flanked on either side by one triangle cut stone, and three baguettes.  There are 9 stones in total across the whole ring.

If there was one thing I could change, I'd want them to offer smaller sizes in this style.  I got a size 6, which was the smallest size, and it's large for my ring finger.  I have another equally exquisite ring from this company, and I can't help feeling like their sizing runs a fraction of a millimeter large.

Once you see this one in person, you'll want to keep coming back for more.  I've picked up quite a few pieces of costume jewelry on Amazon over the years, but this is one of only two brands I've seen with the most "realistic" designs and stones.  The pieces from this brand are all very believable  as real gemstones, and are only the slightest bit lighter in weight than the real thing.

Not bad for the price! I found a few good stones to mount; the others are pretty and I will be giving them to my little niece who loves crystals and pretty stones.

gorgeous - vivid ruby and aurora borealis stones give it a vintage appearance

These are supposed to be sterling silver but they are some black metal that is not very attractive. Stones are okay.

Very nice Stone, I wish they even had them bigger! But the size is big enough to decorate a corner of a window or on a buffet or night stand. The shape I got is different from picture but still nice .

Most of the stones are beautiful.  Some just look like rocks.  Otherwise I would give 5 stars.  They arrived on time and the packaging was satisfactory.  Disappointed that some of the crystals look like rocks and not like the rest of the amethysts.

Beautiful stone puts an edge on blades quick and they look really nice. Just make sure to keep some water on hand cause it seems to dry quick.

Beautiful stone. Would definitely purchase in not only this color but others as well.

Very nice. Would be better if stones had color because of the small size, it took a magnifying glass to find the stones. Still a keeper.

It's lovely.  I was expecting the stone to be dark purple, but it is light, which does not show the cut as well, but it's worth the price.
