Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

These classic diamond stud earrings are a timeless gift. They feature round-cut diamonds with a total carat weight of 1 carat. The diamonds are mounted in a four-prong setting on platinum posts for pierced ears. The posts are threaded, and the rounded backings screw on for a comfortable and secure fit.

These are exceptional quality diamonds. With a minimum G-H color rating, they are in the upper-most range of near-colorless and appear dazzling white to the eye. They have a minimum clarity of VS2, meaning there are very small inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification, and impossible to see with the unaided eye.

These essential earrings are simple enough for daytime wear, but elegant enough to accent evening attire.

About Diamonds

Diamond Clarity: 
No two diamonds are alike. A diamond's most distinguishing characteristics are its inclusions, marks that are often invisible to the naked eye. However, under a jeweler's magnifying loupe or microscope they can look like crystals, tiny rivers, or clouds. A diamond's clarity is determined by the presence or absence of inclusions--fewer inclusions mean better clarity--and how visible they are. The greater a diamond's clarity, the greater its brilliance and value. A diamond categorized as internally flawless will have no inclusions, but this is extremely rare.



Diamond Color:
Though diamonds come in a wide range of colors, colorless diamonds have traditionally been considered the most valuable. Most diamonds are graded on a scale using the letters of the alphabet, from D (colorless), the best grade, through Z (a light yellow). It is difficult for the untrained eye to notice such variations in color unless stones are being compared side by side.




Diamond Carat Weight:
A diamond's weight is measured in carats, with one carat being equivalent to 100 points. You will often see a diamond referred to as a 3/4-carat stone or a 75-point diamond. Larger stones are often more highly valued, but size should not be the only consideration--high brilliance, which varies according to clarity, cut, and color grade, is highly desirable in a diamond.



Diamond Certification:
A diamond certificate represents independent verification that the stone purchased has all the qualities of cut, color, clarity, shape, and weight expected. It is a further indication of the condition and value of that diamond as represented on our site. Such certificates are issued by several agencies employing highly trained gemologists and provide an unbiased and accurate evaluation of the diamond. These gemologists scrutinize each stone to analyze its dimensions, clarity, cut, color, finish, symmetry, and other details.
Diamonds purchased from the Amazon.com Collection may be certified by the Gemological Institute of America or the International Gemological Institute.  The type of certificate provided will be noted in the product specifications of your jewelry purchase; if you do not see a certificate type noted, one will not be provided.

Our Diamond Policy:
Amazon.com sources high-quality diamonds from some of the world's largest suppliers.  All our diamond suppliers certify that to their best knowledge their diamonds are not conflict diamonds.

Diamond Care:
Diamonds, as the hardest substance on earth, are resistant to damage. However, diamond jewelry is set in different metals, and care will vary from piece to piece. Diamonds should be cleaned in a solution of one part ammonia to six parts water, using a gentle scrubbing brush to remove any dirt. It is a good idea to have them cleaned once a year by a professional jeweler, at which time the security of the setting can be checked as well. Diamond jewelry should be stored in a soft cloth pouch to ensure that the stone will not scratch other jewelry.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Certified Platinum, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity) (Jewelry)

My earrings were delivered today and I must say that I am very pleased with this purchase. I've had these earrings on my wish list for a long time but never could justify spending this kind of money on myself. After many years of hard work and penny pinching, I decided it was time to splurge. About three months ago I started researching diamond earrings and comparing carat, cut, color, clarity and pricing. The quality of the diamonds was more important to me than the carat size. I wasn't sure if I was going to buy my diamonds from Amazon. A lot of the diamonds offered here are at a lower price, but they also are of lesser quality and most of them have a significant number of inclusions which was unacceptable to me.

I knew that the earrings I wanted to buy had to be at least G-H in color and a minimum of VS1/2 in clarity. I figured that I would have to choose a smaller carat size in order to stay within my price range. I found this particular pair of 1 cttw diamond earring studs on Amazon and they were exactly what I was looking for but the price was still a bit higher than I was hoping to spend. I kept checking Amazon to see if the price had dropped and I was lucky enough to buy them during a gold box deal at a very nice savings.

The earring were delivered by UPS two day service and required a signature. The item was packaged very well and the earrings came in a lovely mahogany colored wooden box and included a laminated card from the I.G.I. in New York which provided detailed information on the cut, color and clarity of the diamonds. There was additional literature which explained that both of the diamonds are lasercribed with an identification number which can provide added security if these earrings are ever lost or stolen.

I checked the diamonds out very carefully and was not able to see any flaws. These earrings have an incredible sparkle and the 1 cttw size is perfect. People will definitely notice you are wearing them. I consider these quality earrings to be an investment which will increase in value over the years and will certainly make me happy every time I wear them.

Updated 3/20/08 - Amazon now has these earrings listed at $4,099.99 which is overpriced. These same earrings can be purchased elsewhere for less than $3,000.

This is a pair of really nice earrings. I searched a lot of stores and finally get one from Amazon.com for my anniversary. Although I have to wait over 4 weeks to get it, both my wife and I like it so much. It come with a pretty box and a certificate from International Gemological Institute. The whole thing is perfect except one problem.

The only problem is that the back of one earring has some brown dirty rust-like things which is unacceptable. Another one has a very shining silver back. I have to return and get a replacement.

I recently received my order and was extremely pleased. This is the second pair of diamond studs that I've ordered from Amazon, and both times, I have not been disappointed. The diamonds are of very good quality as described. The IGI certification was included with the package. And according to the certification, the earrings are appraised at a value that's more than the price paid. Another pleasant surprise. I love them and would order diamonds from Amazon again.
