These 8 x 8s rock! I 'really' dig these! The hue is 'deep purple' - I was apprehensive but, they're fantastic. I picked up a pair as a gift for a loved one, too. Oh, and the etchings on the side of the studs is cool for a dude too!
These were purchased to wear with a very old necklace. Simplicity, color and clarity were of the upmost importance. These met all requirements, exceeding how well they are color matched.
