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 (950) platinum. The diamonds have a total carat weight of 1/3 carats. 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 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.
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.

Very nice,

This review is from: Platinum, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
I bought these for the woman in my life. First time I've bought jewelry online, let alone diamonds--I was a little nervous. They're excellent quality, though. Let's do the 4Cs. Definitely "eye-clear," there are certainly no inclusions that I can see (VS2); they appear colorless to me; the cut is good. I don't believe amazon specifies it, which is a shame (although who really cares if it's not certified anyway), but in my diamond-dilettante opinion, the cut is simply "Good", and nothing more. Don't get me wrong, they're very sparkly, but they're not incandescent. When we woke up this morning it was still almost dark, and I could see she was wearing the earrings.
1/3 carat is the PERFECT size. Perfect. Any bigger and they'd look fake (and gaudy, ostentatious)... could probably have gone for 1/4 carat, but these are ideal. If you're worried about getting specks, I wouldn't go below 1/4 (personally). The setting is very elegant. Platinum! The box they came in is quite nice--very presentable. I'm overall overwhelming pleased. Diamond studs appear to be on near-constant sale on Amazon; I got 40% off which took them to $507.98 (this on 12/8/08). She likes them, she's happy, I'm happy :-)

This review is from: Platinum, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
This was my first diamond purchase. I got them for my sister. She was very happy to receive these. The diamonds are about 4mm in diameter. They are shiny. I did not notice any obvious clarity or color issues. Amazon has 40%, 50% and even 60% off deals on these very often. I'd never pay the list price. I paid $400 during one of the frequently regular jewelry deals here. Couldn't be happier. Hope this helps.

This review is from: Platinum, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
The diamond stud earrings were what I expected and well worth the money. They are well crafted and brilliant in the light. Equally important, the shipment to Thailand arrived without a hitch. My wife wears them all the time, even when she' sleeping or wearing other earrings. That's the final word on "approval."
