Comment: Rich green Burmese (or 'Myanmarese' in correct diction) peridots in the best shape for brilliancy, IMHO. Both are clean (free of inclusions), precision cut, untreated, without windows, 3*NOS, and: sparkly from ALL direction. The latter quality could be used for a special design, one in which we allow the (obviously earrings) to move differently 'from the crowd'. Be it only for the front 180 degree, or, if you want to take it all the way, even allow a 360-degree freedom. For a full turn, we'd have to leave the classic setting-models (bezel around gem leading to loop, or prongs-to-basket, then loop) behind and innovate. I can imagine several new ways to let these green gems glitter. Drop me a line if you want to try something original, or if you prefer a more conservative setting.
P.S. The strong luster in the images is not the forced result of too much sunlight, but the least amount of light we could allow to show all color while protecting the gems from over-reacting to the spring sun (as visible in one corner under 'more images').
