I SO love the color of these stones.  If you're a November Baby, please understand that although the books all say Topaz is your birthstone, in fact, nearly all Yellow Topaz sold is really Citrine, and it works just as well as the Topaz.  It's the color you're after, not necessarily the stone. 

And these stones HAVE the color -- bright, golden, yellow, sparkly -- the essence of sunlight hanging from your ears.  Very pretty.

This stone is set into a sturdy 4 prong basket.   We cast our own mountings and will never use flimsy "snap tight" stuff... It allows the most show of stone for the least expense in silver.  It's a good stable setting that doesn't set you back a month just to get one.
