4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice earrings for the price, good quality diamonds., May 13, 2007
This review is from: 14k White Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, K-L Color, I3 Clarity) (Jewelry)
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.

14k White Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, K-L Color, I3 Clarity, September 8, 2007
This review is from: 14k White Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, K-L Color, I3 Clarity) (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.

Wonderful earings, September 5, 2007
This review is from: 14k White Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, K-L Color, I3 Clarity) (Jewelry)
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.
