Editorial Reviews

Product Description
These classic diamond stud earrings are a timeless gift. They feature round-cut diamonds with a total carat weight of 3/4 carat. The diamonds are mounted in a four-prong setting on platinum posts for pierced ears. The posts are threaded, and the rounded backings screw on for a comfortable and secure fit.

These are exceptional quality diamonds. With a minimum G color rating, they are in the upper-most range of near-colorless and appear dazzling white to the eye. They have a minimum clarity of VS2, meaning there are very small inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification, and impossible to see with the unaided eye.

These essential earrings are simple enough for daytime wear, but elegant enough to accent evening attire.

Customer Reviews

Very nice quality diamonds
I purchased these earrings and I am excited about the quality but not the size. To be fair, I knew little about diamond studs until I did research on Amazon and learned a bunch over the course of a couple of weeks, but the one thing I wish I'd seen was pictures of diamond studs in "actual" size next to each other -i.e. not blown up on the screen to look pretty. The 1/4, the 1/3, the 1/2, the 3/4, and the 1 carat total weight pairs would have been nice to see all at once. Had I seen this I might have opted for the larger size (and perhaps slightly lower quality so as to afford it). Yes, you can print the helpful "actual size" report from Amazon, but this does not have any small sizes except for the 1/2 and 1 carat studs (and nothing in between).

One more thing, the gemological report that I received was NOT as detailed as the "sample" on the website. There appears to be an actual photo of my diamonds on my report but you do NOT see the drawings that show flaws and occlusions. This would have been nice. Also, there are fewer descriptive terms in the ratings than I expected. For example, on my certificate it says "G-G/G-G" for Polish and Symmetry. Although it was bound and presented well, I had hoped for something more like the sample on the website.

On the flip side, these diamonds are really high quality. I compared them to a coworkers larger studs and it was immediately apparent that these were colorless and clear (to my eyes) while the others were a bit cloudy and not as nice.

The quality of the studs was as advertised. One stud was VS-1 and the other was VS-2 and the color for both was G-H. The Total Carat Weight was 0.72 (not the 0.75 as hoped for) but this was above the guaranteed minimum spec. of 0.70.

The product was received very quickly, and was well packaged and presented. I would absolutely purchase this type of thing from Amazon again...

Diamonds look real nice
The color and clarity appears to be better than expected, according to IGI certification. I have not yet brought to a jeweler for review but according to IGI I got more than I expected. The size, however, was exactly .7 - the minimum allowable size. I was a little upset about this so I will hope the color and clarity sparkles for my wife on Christmas morning...

All in all, good experience purchasing - just wish the size had hit a little closer to .75

Love my studs!
Just took delivery of these diamond stud earrings today (7/7/2004) and I am very very happy with them. First, the negative... but only a slight negative... I had to wait 2 and a half months for these :( But it was well worth the wait. Amazon shipped them complimentary next day air. The diamonds I received were beautiful. The IGI cert says that they are both 0.39 carats, good polish and proportions, clarity as advertised.
Where I was surprised was color. One is colorless (D) with no flourescence and the other colorless (E) with moderate blue flourescence. This is much better than the advertised near colorless (G).

I would definitely recommend Amazon for diamonds. Now I don't have to trek all the way to Holland and Belgium for my diamonds.
