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.

I purchased 4 sets of these diamond stud earrings so that I could give two sets to each of my two youngest daughters. Overall I believe that they are a good buy due to the high cost of good quality diamonds. In my opinion, this quality diamond should only be purchased in very small diamonds. Otherwise, the inclusions would be too noticeable. Of the 4 sets I purchased, 2 sets were nice looking and definitely keepers. The third set has some black that can be seen if in the light and using my reading glasses up close. From a foot or two away they sparkle and look fine. The forth set is very yellow compared to the first three sets and although the diamonds do not have very noticeable inclusions, this could be due to the fact that they are very cloudy. I called Amazon, and they were very accommodating in allowing me to ship the forth set back at their expense. I told them that although I was a little disappointed in the third set, I would retain them as a back-up set for my daughters because they did fit the definition of diamonds of this quality. However, in my opinion, the forth set did not fit the description and should be returned at their expense. Amazon agreed and they will be shipped out later today. I believe that Amazon is the very best place to purchase diamonds of this quality. I paid $49 a set and locally the same quality diamonds in stud earrings would have been at least $99 to $149. Some of the local discount jewelry stores charge a 20% restocking fee if you return the earrings.

I rated these diamonds 4 stars for value and I would not hesitate to purchase diamonds from Amazon again.

With this inexpensive grade of diamonds, visible flaws are very likely, as are off-colors. Maybe I lucked out, but the 1/3 cttw stones in these earrings were surprisingly bright and clear to the unaided eye.

The slightly smaller size of 1/3cttw may make these flaws less apparent. Your results may be hit-or-miss depending on your particular stones. Mine was more hit than miss, so I gave these pretty earrings to my wife. I also got a pair of the 1/2 cttw diamonds (very similar but more expensive): 14k White Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings (1/2 cttw, J-K Color, I2-I3 Clarity) . That pair was dull and cloudy, as shown by shining a flashlight into the stones, so they were returned.

Amazon's lenient return policy applies equally to jewelry, of course.

For me at least, these 1/3 cttw earrings worked well. Recommended.

I just received my earrings this morning. I am not very experienced at buying diamonds, but I think these earrings really look great. When I put them on in the bathroom the vanity lights made them sparkle like crazy. I did not see any black marks and I could see the through the stone, so I don't think they are too cloudy. Every time I get nice earrings I loose the back (and sometimes the earring with it), but the backs on these are very secure. For $39.99 they are definitely worth it.
