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.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the better Diamond deals at Amazon, June 5, 2009

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never buying diamonds offline again!, January 18, 2007

By	S. Klimathianos - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted! :), January 9, 2009

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.
