  • To ensure the longevity of your plated items store your jewelry in a dark, cool, dry place such as a pouch or air tight box and avoid rubbing plated items together. Also try to avoid exposure to cleaning products and perfume which can both negatively affect your items.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous and affordable CZs
By LadyJupiter on September 23, 2016
These studs are so bright and simply classy.

I call these my training diamonds, and sometimes I remind my husband of the carat weight in case he feels the need to surprise me with real diamond studs. I am allergic to nickel and have to be careful with earrings. The platinum plating is well done, it hasn't worn off and I have not had any allergic reaction. These arrived in a nice little box, with standard butterfly backs. I had some bigger earring backs handy, so I replaced them right away. (This is a must for me, because if I lose a training diamond I wouldn't trust myself to have real diamond studs at all.)

I love wearing these, because they improve any outfit and they do look real. I ordered the 1 cttw (one carat total weight) studs, and they are perfect. I measure each CZ as being 3.5 16ths of an inch. Small, yes, but a great fit for small ear lobes.

I would certainly buy these again, without hesitation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good quality CZ but sizing is off
By UnicornMermaidJedi on June 3, 2015
I carefully read the reviews and questions/answers before choosing which size to get. I was torn between the 1cttw and 2ct tw sizes. I had wanted to purchase these to wear for a while before deciding what size real diamond studs to buy.

The 2cttw size seemed a little large in the photo but in the question/answer it appeared as if the seller answered the question of sizing to be 2 ct TOTAL WEIGHT (So 1 ct each stud) even though other buyers stated each stud was 2ct each. What confused me is that the description is 2 cttw, which stands for 2 carats total weight. So I decided to buy that size since I wanted to see how large 1 ct in each ear looked like.

When I received these I was immediately impressed with the quality but knew the description was wrong. I should have listened to the other buyers and not the seller/description. The 2cttw earrings are most definitely 2 ct each stud. These are way to big to look real to me even though the quality is great. I also dislike that the posts are at the top of the earring so you cannot avoid having the earring droop beneath the lobe. So these are going back. I will purchase the 1cttw and update my review. I am hoping the sizing is consistent and those will be 1 ct each but only time will tell!

I love these !! Got so many complements today on how real they look and so classy. I recommend the 1cttw, I got the 2 as well, and they were a little flashy for my taste. Came in a classy box and would be great as a gift !!

1.0 out of 5 stars 1ct Total Weight (5mm)
By Saoirse on April 13, 2018
One of the posts came bent. It was easy enough to straighten with a pair of pliers, but there's no reason it should have been bent with the way it was packaged.

The posts are also way too long. They touch my neck, and if anything touches my earlobe, they stab into me.

And the jewelry looks gaudy. If you have small earlobes like me, they dwarf them. The stones look like fake, cloudy plastic in any sort of light. I've had another pair of cz earrings that sparkled and were clear, so I'm certain this is not how all fake diamonds look.

I'm chalking it up to wasting money on the hit and miss of ordering online, but I'm very disappointed that these were as terrible as they are with how good the reviews were. I'd planned to order two more sets from this same brand, but am now skeptical that all their product is as low-quality as this pair turned out to be.

EDIT: I'm bumping the review down to one star. I wore these for a bit and really tried to like them, but it turns out I'm allergic to whatever metal this is. I'm not allergic to silver. These have reopened my 8 month old piercings, and it's extremely painful and disappointing to have to wait until they heal up to be able to branch out again with other earrings. Don't buy these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
By C Larson on August 17, 2017
These are beautiful earrings. I ordered the 2 cttw because it was on sale for $8. I usually prefer smaller, more realistic stones, but sometimes you want something a little flashier. I'm so glad I got the 2 cttw. I don't find them gaudy, and they have a little more pizazz than the 1 cttw. These are actually fine for everyday wear, but I wouldn't recommend anything more than 2 cttw.

The quality is excellent. The stones are clear and have plenty of sparkle. Basket settings are my favorite, so much classier than crown. It's a simple, four prong setting that doesn't detract from the stone. I ordered the platinum plated sterling silver. The silver complements the stones and it blends almost seamlessly. Some reviewers mentioned the post being on the top. The earrings that I received have a centered post, which I much prefer. The posts and butterfly backs are stamped with 925.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong
By Chicago mom on January 10, 2016
These earrings are beautiful and really sparkle. I initially bought them for myself but when they arrived I thought they were to small, so I gave them to my 11year old and they fit her perfect. Because they were so beautiful I ordered another pair but in a larger size, the 2cttw. When the 2cttw arrived I actually thought they were to big for everyday wear. They were beautiful, but I normally do not wear diamonds that big, and I did not think they looked as authentic as the 1cttw, especially for everyday wear, so I went back To the 1cttw and just put the 1cttw in my second hole. I think both pair are beautiful, but unless you wear diamonds that big regularly, I just don't think the 2cttw look as legit. I attached pics for you to see of both pair side by side.

By Jo Ann on August 20, 2012
This pair of earrings was bought as a gift for my sister and I also bought the princess-cut ones for myself. Comparing these two, the round-cut has more fire and brilliance than the princess-cut studs. At 5mm, they are the right size for casual or even dinner wear, and will fool anyone. Good buy!
