Garnet (1-1/3 ct. t.w.) and Diamond Accent Stud Earrings in 14K Yellow Gold

I bought these studs in white gold to mix with my other garnet jewelry and while they are pretty and a nice, classic design, I don’t think they are worth the money. I ordered them during a very good sale but they still aren’t worth that much, and not even remotely for the full original price. I work in gemology as a hobby and garnet is a favored stone of mine so I’m familiar with their worth. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to keep them or return.
