Product Insights
For $4 more than Simons' own brass-and-faux-stone earrings, you get gold-plated stainless steel with natural gemstones that are scratch- and water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and unique due to possible dyeing for consistent color, but the opaque cabochon-cut stones are beading grade without sparkle or certification, and require careful maintenance like wiping after each wear and avoiding water to preserve the plating, while the 3.5 cm drop with hinged closure offers all-day comfort and secure fit.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Natural Gemstone Earrings: Choose this if you want small gold-tone hoop earrings in plated gold stainless steel with natural gemstone charms — the polished oval stone drops are detachable, and the hinged post closure with hook suits pierced ears. At about 1.25 inches (3.5 cm) long and available in brown, green, or blue in one size, they work for discreet everyday styling. Customer feedback (from a small number of reviews) describes them as comfortable enough for all-day wear and sleep, non-irritating for sensitive ears, and secure during activity.[1,2,3] | Gold Gemstone Large Earrings: Choose these if you want bold 3.5 cm drop earrings with domed green cabochon-style stones framed in gold-tone bezels, available in one size in Mint/Pistachio Green or Bronze/Amber. They are made of gold-plated stainless steel with faux rather than genuine stones, and the push back closure suits pierced ears only.[4,5] | Natural Stone Hoops: Choose this if you want small pierced-ear hoops with genuine natural stones: each 2 cm gold-plated stainless steel hoop carries a single glossy, donut-shaped brown stone bead with a hinged post closure and hook. Because the beads are natural, expect visible variation between the pair, such as one bead appearing lighter brown with golden streaks and the other darker. This variant comes in one size in Brown, with an Orange colorway also listed.[6,7] |

Pretty earrings
Nice stone. Love the closing mechanism. Would be hard to lose.
Nice, great price!
This my third purchase of this style of hoop with bauble. Love the secure clasp, gold never tarnishes. I wear them all the time (even sleep in them)! My ears are sensitive to metals but the Simon earrings to date do not cause irritation. Yay!

Disappointment with Ross-Simons earring gemstone verification
I purchased a pair of earrings from Ross Simons and ended up being really disappointed in the information that they are able to provide to verify the piece. They claim that they have gemologists inspect pieces prior Ross Simons acquiring them. With that being the case, I would expect there to be some sort of documentation to verify. I had reached out to the concierge asking for some sort of confirmation due to my concern regarding whether the earrings had diamond that were natural or dyed and the price different between the two. I paid for what natural would be valued at. It would be extremely infuriating to discover the diamonds to be lab dyed, meaning I paid 300-400% over the true value. They were unable to provide any sort of verification, besides a Certificate of Purchase, which does not provide details on the jewelry in which their claimed gemologist has inspected.

Caution about Ross-Simons gemstone quality and pricing
I don't think this price is too good to be true, imo. Ross-Simons leans more to being over priced for what you're getting, but they can have good sales. Be sure you really zoom in on those gems. They're the type sold for beading. They'll probably be opaque.
