Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The best thing about these diamond earrings is that they can be worn every single day to show them off. Flirty and eye-catching, each round-cut stone rests in a four-prong setting made of 18 karat white gold. The diamonds have a total carat weight of 1/3 carat. The smooth finish of the metal and the light-reflecting cut of the gems make the pair immediately noticeable. Posts with friction backs keep the shiny pair securely on the ears. This is an essential accessory that can be worn frequently and with almost anything--it is certain to be a favorite.
These are fine quality diamonds, with exceptional brilliance. They are near-colorless, with a minimum color rating of H-I, and appear white to the eye. The clarity rating of these diamonds is SI1/2, meaning there are small inclusions that can be seen somewhat easily under 10x magnification. These inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye.
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.

One of the better Diamond deals at Amazon,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 18k White Gold, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, H-I Color, SI1-SI2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
I got these for ~280$ at Amazon during a Mother's day deal. Which was a good deal considering the SI1-SI2 clarity. I say that because for the last few months (2009), you can buy 1/2 carat studs with I1-I3 clarity for 250$ at Kays Jewelers (and you can pick and choose from several pieces).
But when I got the Amazon studs, I was very pleasantly surprised with their clarity and sparkle. I was not particular about the size being small, because I needed something smaller for every-day wear(the amazon 'on the ear' image is pretty accurate). When I went and compared them with the I1-I3 pieces I saw at the Jewelers, there was a VERY significant difference in the clarity and sparkle but not a lot in size. Even the rep there was surprised I got them for under 300$ So if you are more concerned about the size of the diamond, you might want to check out the local jewelers first and rummage through the 8-10 pairs they usually carry - and pick the one which is clearest i.e. less yellow to the eye. Otherwise 1/3 carat SI1-SI2 under 300$ was a very good deal for me. Too bad their prices have climbed since then. PS: As some of you might know, Coscto also has great deals on diamonds, but they seldom carry smaller pieces like these studs.

Exactly what I wanted! :),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 18k Gold, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, H-I Color, SI1-SI2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
I was a little nervous buying diamonds online, but these were an excellent price and are exactly as described by Amazon.com. It's a good idea to understand diamond sizes because these can appear a bit small initially, but after putting them on, they are exactly what I was looking for in a diamond stud (I wanted these for the second hole, not so much for the primary). Nevertheless, I've been wearing these as in the primary hole on their own, and they convey a modest glamour. The clarity and cut is beautiful, and they are extremely sparkly in normal light. I ordered white gold, and the prongs are hardly visible. The backs feel very secure (actually they're almost difficult to take off), and I could not be happier with these earrings. Mine arrived in a velvet box within a navy box with the earring specification on the underside (so sounds like the packaging has been upgraded since some of the other reviews). I'd give these even more stars if I could. If you're lookng for a modest but beautiful diamond, these fit the bill perfectly.
Update (May 31, 2011): I still love these things...my single most treasured piece of jewelry. I think I've had them out of my ears a handful of times in the last two years. They go with everything, they are beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with them!!!

Never buying diamonds offline again!,
This review is from: 18k White Gold, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, H-I Color, SI1-SI2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
This is the second pair of diamond studs I buy online, and I am supremely satisfied. The quality is exactly as described (although I wish there was a certificate attached about the specifications).
The only improvement I would recommend is a more premium type of packaging, rather than the small velvet pouch.
