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 basket setting made of 18k white gold. The diamonds have a total carat weight of 1/4 carats. The smooth finish of the metal and the light-reflecting cut of the gems make the pair immediately seen. Posts with screw backs keep the shiny baubles 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 I, and appear white to the eye. The clarity rating of these diamonds is Sl2, meaning there are small inclusions that can be seen somewhat easily under 10x magnification. These inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye, however, and the diamonds appear clear in the mounting.
The cut, proportions, and symmetry of the diamonds--characteristics which determine their brilliance--are good to very 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. The table percentage for these diamonds, meaning the width of the table compared to the diamonds total width, is 50.4-65.5%, and the depth percentage, or total height of the diamond compared to its total width, is 57.5-64.5%. Optimal table and depth percentages maximize a diamonds ability to reflect and refract light, but they also require a great deal of the diamond to be cut away, leaving less carat weight. While the table and depth percentages here span a slightly broader range than those of higher quality diamonds, they still allow the diamond to handle the light beautifully, and they have the advantage of offering a beautiful balance of size and quality for the value.
