The exceptional quality of these diamond stud earrings is matched only by their size--each diamond weighs an extraordinary 1.5 carats. The impressive round-brilliant diamonds are held in a 4-prong basket setting of polished platinum that allows the maximum amount of light to pass through, while at the same time not overshadowing the diamonds. This particular setting also helps cut down on the weight of the earrings, so they remain comfortable after extended or repeated wear (and were guessing that shell wear them repeatedly). The platinums gleaming satin finish complements the electrifying diamonds and catches the light beautifully. The posts for pierced ears are threaded and come with scalloped backings that screw on to ensure the baubles wont fall off. These diamond earrings are bold, glamorous, and guaranteed to dazzle every beholder.
These are exceptional quality diamonds. With a minimum 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.
The cut, proportions, and symmetry of the diamonds--characteristics which determine their brilliance--are good. Most to nearly all of the light that enters through the table, or top facet, of the diamond will reflect back out, creating the deep brightness, or brilliance, that gives diamonds their special allure. These essential earrings are simple enough for daytime wear, but elegant enough to accent evening attire.
