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.

Very nice quality earrings. After shopping around the stores, I find that these have all the features that I was looking for. The documentation presentation was a pleasant surprise. Extremely satisfied.

I was looking for VS2, G-H 1cttw platinum stud earrings, which is exactly what these were. I've never gotten jewelry via the mail before, so I was a little worried.

I had nothing to worry about. These came and they are precisely what they advertised as, and precisely what I wanted. Nice job Amazon!

Overall... these were pretty good diamonds for the price. However, a big issues was that the cut was listed as "Very Good" but the IGI rating just listed it as good. I immediately contacted Amazon support and got quick feedback. They suggested ordering another one and returning this one. I did - with the same result.
One of the big problems here is that you cannot speak to a jewelry rep. You get a general customer service rep immediately but they have to pass you info over to the jewelry department which can take a couple business days to respond - and only via email. This is pretty bad for a company trying to exceed customer service standards! Dont get me wront - their reqular reps tried to help but were limited in what they could do and the information they could get. Especially Jeremy - this guy was dedicated! But again, he was limited in what he could do because of the jewelry department.
On my final email to customer service I noticed they took off the cut description on the website.
Again... good diamonds and size for the price. I was a little upset that the price was factored on a Very Good cut even thought the diamond wasnt exactly that. My return was processed with no issues.

My wife was thrilled with her 10th anniversary gift. These are beautiful.
I was skeptical that the cut might be 'good' as was mentioned in another review but it turned out to be a 'brilliant' cut. The earrings are excellant value for the quality of the product that you get. Bought the jackets from Costco to complement the studs (best price for the quality).

So all in all an excellant purchase. Wife happy with quality and I am happy about the price. A happy ending. :-)

The earrings have very nice color, clarity and sparkle. They arrived quickly. My only regret is that the stones are not larger.
