I splurged on J432460, as it came in such tantalizing colorways. I knew I wanted to have them. I just received them yesterday. Here are my reviews.

1. Lapis/Malachite/Chrysocolla - The colors are beautiful- deep blue lapis that is perfectly matched, medium green malachite (some stones with more striation than others), and bright blue chrysocolla with a few small spots of green and some larger spots of black matrix that are somewhat evenly dispersed, and therefore, acceptable to my eyes. The clasp is very secure. I really like this vividly colored one. It will work great against green, navy, medium blue, and white clothing.

2. Phosphosiderite/Variscite/Rhodonite - I had thought I would love this one the most,  by far, but #3 below, turned out to be my favorite of the three I ordered. Pretty medium purple phosphosiderite stones, nicely pigmented green variscite stones, and very lovely deep pink rhodonite center stone. The clasp is also secure on this one. This one is quite nice against pink clothing (which I wore, yesterday). Such pleasant, gentle, and soothing spring colors in this one that work so well together.

3. Orange Spiny Oyster/Rhodonite/Leopard Jasper - Just wow! There is an undeniable happiness to the color synergy in this one. The spiny oyster "stones" are a vibrant, but not too bright, lighter orange, the pink rhodonite is a deeper, richer color, and the leopard jasper in the center is so perfectly paired with the orange and pink stones. The center leopard jasper stone in my enhancer has orange, beige, and black swirling around in it which complement the outer orange spiny oyster stones so well. The jasper in my enhancer is visually fascinating. This one exudes much more energy than the other two enhancers, and to think that I almost didn't order this one. So glad I did.

I will wear these on my heavy Jai box chain necklace, and probably on other, longer Indonesian silver chains I have. I am happy that the bale on these, while quite generously large, does not permit the enhancers to flip on my Jai chain. Any concerns I had that these enhancers might be too large in scale for me to wear went away when I tried them on. These well-designed enhancers have enough negative space in them around the smaller stones to create a lacy look that is less imposing than one would expect for such a large enhancer. 

I must say that I was surprised to find such less-than-stellar reviews beginning to come in for these enhancers. I really like the strongly different energies and vibes I get  from each of these unique stone combinations. I hope everyone else feels good about theirs and enjoys wearing them to the fullest.

@Jersey Born thanks for your review! I'm so glad to hear that you like them so much. Great description of each one. 

Have fun wearing them.

@Jersey Born   I love the vibrancy of the rhodonite color pendant.  I think of how beautiful that will look in the sunlight!  Enjoy!

I purchased the phospho/variscite/rhodo version and the black/white version.  Love both of them.  The black/white version looks great on chains, black leather, and surprisingly good on a herkimer quartz bead necklace.  I have a multi-strand leather necklace that Carolyn did ages ago with pinks and lavender colors that complements the phospho version.  Very pleased with these enhancers.  I hope they bring back the coordinating ring.  I also purchased the charoite bead necklace and it has beautiful purple color, very pleased.

@Jersey Born.  I don't particularly care for these enhancers but I want to commend you for your well-written, objective reviews.

You are very welcome, @Bookplate. I am a gem/rock enthusiast, for sure.

Thank you for posting "the winner" in my book, at least, @Desertdi.  The center jasper stone in the one I received has more evenly distributed color than the one in the online image, and I actually like mine better for that reason.
