Beautiful soft Green Jade Earrings”

I just love these earrings! They are a beautiful soft green jade set in silver that go well with casual or dress clothes. I did change out the original wires on these earrings with some longer skinnier wires that I can easily put on and take off. The other wires were too big for my ears. Unfortunately that meant losing the little silver accent at the top corner of the stone setting

Nothing Special”

While I expected some variation in the jade color, the stones were dark, dark. Hardly green, at all. The picture shows the earrings as being substantially constructed. Not so. The ear wires are flimsy silver and difficult to use because they have to be manipulated so they will break, or at best will become gnarly-looking. I am not going to return them because that would end up being expensive. All in all, Im very disappointed.
