These earrings are just exquisite, and made by my favorite artist: I have several of her items and LOVE each one. The only thing otherwise I would say is that I agree the purple shade is much darker than pictured. I would have liked to have more of a lavender as it looks in the photos. Nonetheless, I love them and Narayanni's fine workmanship. Her designs are simple but colorful which is what draws me to them.
"Glorious Crystal,' had a rose quartz that was a lighter pink than the one pictured. However, it was still pretty and coordinated with Neetu Barathi's necklace, ''Glittering Gemstones.' Happy with purchase.
