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.

I bought these earrings as a gift for my sister. I thought that they would be a perfect birthday gift. Long story short she loved them. She said they are not too big nor too small. She also said that they shine beautifully when she wears them.

The price was the only thing that was good about these earrings.
The earrings arrived very quickly and nicely packaged, but the quality of the diamonds were very poor. They looked dark and gray and not much sparkle. The white gold looked like pewter, not even silver gray. The picture on the website made them look clearer and shinier, which these were not!
I will return them immediately.

Numerous flaws. Very dark, no sparkle. They are being returned today. Maybe other positive reviewers got a better batch. The ones we got are not worth $1 as you wouldn't want your loved one wearing these.

I ordered these for my GF and had to then ship them to her for her birthday as she is in another state. I should have known better. A friend once told me you CAN NOT get a deal on diamonds, they have an inherent value. You can definately over pay but you can't get a deal. So if you are looking for a deal, this isn't it. You get what you pay for or even less in this case.


I should have known better and not mailed them, but I didn't have time to go shopping.

The diamonds are small;I knew they would be. I am not complaining about the size.

They are dirty diamonds. They have several large visible inclusions. They have absolutely no sparkle. I went outside and was hoping to get a little sparkle. Nothing.

She was very nice when she got them. She didn't complain and was very thankful. Then one day we got into a fight and she told me the truth. She cried when she got them. Not because of excitement. But because she thought I didn't love her enough to get her something nice. The truth is I lost my job and really can't afford anything more. She wore them only once when she went to her Birthday dinner with her family. She was embarrassed. No one commented at how beautiful they were. In truth, because they are not.

These diamonds are not gem quality. I do not think Walmart even sells diamonds of this low quality.

Save your money and buy something else. There are hundreds of other items on Amazon.

There was no sparkle, they were dull and cloudy so I returned for a refund.

I just received them today..They were exactly what I expected..They have a nice shine..Thank you so much..

These stones are bottom of the barrel in quality. Add in the fact that they are advertised as being treated, and you have a recipe for separating your hard earned money on "disposable jewelry." The diamonds are definitely not attractive, with major flaws and not a good buy at any price. This type of material should not be sold on Amazon because it supports dubious practices of jewelers to sell inferior grade stones to the public thinking they are getting a good buy. These are not. Educate yourself against these practices and buy a diamond book. They are selling a few on here which I have found to be of great educational value.
