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 princess-cut stone rests in a four-prong setting made of 18 karat yellow gold. The diamonds have a total carat weight of 1/4 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice cut!,
By Iowa Jim (North Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 18k Gold, Princess-Cut, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/4 cttw, H-I Color, SI1-SI2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
The specifications were right - SI range inclusions and I color, but one has to take a leap of faith when it comes to the quality of the cut since we must purchase these earrings sight unseen. I am happy to report that these stones have a great sparkle to them and are well worth the extra money. I must admit that the 1/4 carat total weight leaves for some small earrings, but I'd rather offer the wife a smaller but high quality item rather than a larger but inferior set of stones with poor cut, quality, and color.

This review is from: 18k White Gold, Princess-Cut, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/4 cttw, H-I Color, SI1-SI2 Clarity) (Jewelry)
The product was exactly as I expected -- great-looking diamonds for a great price. Comparably-priced diamonds at retail stores were only I2 clarity at best, and the difference between SI and I is huge even to the inexperienced eye.

These are small, tasteful and an excellent value.
I wear them nearly every day I love them so much! I am extremely pleased by the quality. The stones have an excellent cut and a wonderful sparkle. I highly recommend (esp. on sale!).
