I purchased these earrings back in 2013 but do not have much detail on them. They were sold as emeralds but I personally do not think the stones are real as I only paid $200 for them. I do not see any stamps on the earrings so I doubt they are real gold but the stone backs are open so the stones may be real. Above the emerald are 5 tiny clear stones, maybe diamond chips or clear sapphire or maybe just glass, who knows… the backs are not perfectly straight anymore but they are over 10 years old so that is to be expected.
