Earrings - diamond jewelry, stud


I have 4 pierced holes in each of my ears and the baby diamonds I always wore were stolen when I was robbed. I have very sensitive ears and everything else I put in the 3 top holes would dig in and infect my ears.



I saw these 1/10 ct. white gold earrings here for $30 and thought perfect! Sure, the quality of the diamonds isn't great, but since they were 1/10 ct. it didn't matter. They actually look a lot nicer than I expected and I never take them out!

If you don't read the description, the picture is deceiving... but they actually look as nice as the picture... if you are looking for very small diamonds earrings for a child or for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, what have you hole, read the description here. It actually is deceiving, because the quality relayed here does not do the earrings justice. 10k White Gold Princess-Cut Diamond Stud Earrings (1/10 cttw, J-K Color, I2-I3 Clarity)

I3 is a category of diamond that in the past would only have been used for industrial diamonds. (e.g. they would be ground up and used to make saw blades) However because of the demand for cheap diamonds, I3 diamonds are now being cut and used in jewelry. This is why the prices for certain types of diamond jewelry have become incredibly cheap.



Diamonds are graded as follows: FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2, I3



The grading description for I3 is as follows: "I3 diamonds have large and extremely easy to see inclusions that typically impact the brilliance of the diamond, as well as having inclusions that are often likely to threaten the structure of the diamond."



I am all for look over perfection, but I would think twice before buying a diamond graded below SI2, unless this is for your young daughter who might lose them somewhere...

I purchased these for my wife when they appeared in the 'deal of the day' section, and did not read the description very carefully. This is definitely a case where the top down view is decieving. I expected a simple, modest, pair of earings she could wear at work.



These were tiny -- really baby sized earrings. Look at the side view before purchasing, and note the size of the backing. It's a small backing, and the earrings themselves are the size of a ball point pen.



As long as you are aware of the size, I didn't see anything wrong with the quality. They seemed fine. But I expect them to get lost very quickly.

The studs were cute, but a little small. I would not agree that they are the size of a pin-head or . (see the other reviews) but they are certantily not big. I returned them b/c I was too afraid of loosing one. If you are in the market for a second pair of earrings or nose ring, I think they'd be perfect. I think Amazon should be take pictures of these earrings that are "too scale" because the picture is decieving.

I bought these as a gift for my girlfriend. I was going to Germany to visit her, because she is studying Engineering in Berlin. The trip itself was a Christmas present, but I went ahead and got these, too, because I wanted to make it a little special. It was an important trip for me too.



I specifically waited until we went to the Reichstag (I really wanted to go there) and gave them to her.



At first I thought they might have been a little small. However, they were very clear and the white gold pushed them quite well. Either way I am satisfied with my purchase. My only complaint would be the that they were not shipped in a nice little box or something to present them in. They just came in a pouch.

They are tiny but for thirty dollars what can you expect for diamonds? The princess cut shows off more of the small diamond than a round cut. I bought them for my mom for christmas for her second earlobe piercing. They add just enough sparkle to accent her main earrings. She loves them and for an earring that small, grade doesn't really matter. I would recommend these for anyone looking for a small accent earring.

These earrings are the perfect size for a second hole or for someone who wants just a little sparkle in their ear. Definitely look at the diamond size chart. I am very please with the product and the look of these. They also are very comfortable and secure on the ear. I wanted something small, yet pretty for my second hole. I found them. :)

I was skeptical about this purchase after reading some of the reviews but the studs are nice for everyday use as I am a male that works in a semi-corporate setting; they have even been called cute. They are noticeable but not flashy and the diamonds and gold tested real. It seems like some people are expecting large flawless diamonds; never at this price. I'm not a specialist but I do own some high end jewelry this is a good buy for the price. - Amazoncom Collection - Diamond Stud Earrings - Stud - Diamond Jewelry'
