These 8 x 8s rock! I 'really' dig these! The hue is 'deep purple' - I was apprehensive but, they're fantastic. I picked up a pair as a gift for a loved one, too. Oh, and the etchings on the side of the studs is cool for a dude too!
These earrings was purchased for my daughter, who is the "Apple of My Eye." Her birthstone is the peridot and she just loves these earrings and the necklace that were purchase to go with it.
