Awful - awful, good quality


Bottom Line: Do not believe the product description, and definitely do not believe the picture.



These diamond earring claimed to be I-J in color, which they are not. Both diamonds are clearly yellow, in the L-M possible in the N category. Unacceptable for the description of the product.



That said, the delivery was prompt and the packaging was nice, but if the product is going to claim an original price of $1,000, then sell for $299, the quality should at least get closer to the $1,000 dollar price tag. 1/2 Carat (ctw) Diamond Stud Earrings in 14K White Gold

I debated ordering these, but the price seemed too good to be true based on the description. Unfortunately I was correct... These are not what I expected based on the image and description. I'm no gemologist, but I don't believe the H-I rating on the diamonds. One had a slightly different cut than the other and was noticeably more yellow in color. I don't believe these are anywhere close to a $1000 dollar pair of earrings. If they were 100 dollars I might encourage people to buy, but I can't in good conscience recommend this product.

What you will get. You will get what you paid for.



1/2 carat (that is two 0.25 carat stones), each of them is be 4.1 mm big.

The color is not white as on picture, it is IJ, and I would say it is J as you can see the yellow tone.

I1-I2 means the presence of inclusions. Those stones are one of the worth grades, but it is clearly specified and you cannot complain.



What I like: The price. The fast delivery. Awesome packaging.



What I don't like: The picture is not close to what you are getting. Not white blue. They don't sparkle. Too many inclusions and the color on the yellowish side.

And the worst: That "post-with-friction-back" thing is not aligned and the post is clearly not in the center. I know, nobody will probably see it when she wears it. Still, I am not happy with this quality.

Dont be fooled by the image, these are tiny studs. the diamond quality (Color and Cut) is not that great either. I bought them when they were offered as a Gold Box deal. I got them for $280, so cannot complain.

Many previous reviews of these earrings had a problem with the color or clarity of these diamonds. I was worried that when I got them, I'd be disappointed in the color, or think the quality was too low of a grade to actually give my wife. Well, the color and the quality were not an issue whatsoever. However, the size was of concern to me. Not that they were smaller or larger than I had expected, but that the earrings were not a match in size with each other. Just sitting in the box, side-by-side, it was very easy to see that the two diamond studs were a different size and did not look like a matching pair. I am in the process right now of trying to see what my options are for an exchange.

I gave these to my wife and she loved them. They arrived extremely quickly and just as described. Granted, they are not the very best quality available on the planet but they definitely do the job. They sparkle nicely and the setting is beautiful. My wife and I personally don't believe in spending a fortune on perfect diamond studs considering she wears them daily and will get hairspray, shampoo etc... which leaves imperfections anyhow. These are really great value. We saw a pair at the local mall jewelry store for $895 and I paid less than half of that with free shipping!

Bought these like a week or 2 ago for a great price. It was exactly as described a 1/2 carat of diamonds. My daughter wears them and she likes them. Delivery was exceedingly fast for this item. Overall I would buy from this merchant again.

Just received these earrings yesterday and was pretty amazed of how fast I got them. Cute little red box and gift wrapping. I'm always happy when I order a product and it's delivered quickly in a nice package. So I'm pretty much satisfied with that. The earrings were purchased for my girlfriend whom I've been with for 2 years. There is no special occasion but I thought it'd be nice to get her something and it seemed like a great deal online. When I got them I placed it on the bed. I waited for her to come home from work. When she did, she was talking about how her day went and how some of her patients(she's an optometrist) drive her crazy. I smiled and told her to get comfortable so we can have dinner. She went to the bedroom, I jumped off the couch and followed... The way I placed the gift box she noticed it right away, she picked up the little red box, turned and looked at me, smiled, and then opened it, she immediately put them on and she looked wonderful wearing them. She told me I made her day. After all that being said, I say it was a good purchase on my behalf. - Awful - Good Quality'
