Certified 10k Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings
I looked long and hard for the perfect pair of diamond stud earrings for purchase for a Christmas gift. I searched through online catalogs, local jewelry stores, department stores, even warehouse stores to try to find the perfect pair. The one thing I kept seeing in jewelry stores is that you could get a very nice pair of diamond earrings, and not worry too much about the quality, since all of them looked very nice and sparkling and shiny. Most of the diamond qualities I saw for around $1500 were ~1 ct. total weight, and I2 quality.
Then I found these earrings. I had high hopes for them. The price was right, the quality appeared to be the same size and I2 quality that I had seen in all the local jewelry stores. So I purchased them at a fraction of the cost that I would have paid locally, rationalizing to myself that the only difference was the local support (local stores promised replacement of stones that had come loose from fixtures, regular cleanings, etc.).
But upon receiving these, I was instantly disappointed. The shipping was right on time, and Amazons service could not have been better, but the diamonds were a mess. I received I3 quality diamonds that looked dull and cloudy. One of the stones even looked shattered as if the diamond had cracked. It made the stones look less like brilliant diamonds and more like cheap glass. The settings on the earrings were good quality, but the diamond quality (or lack thereof) just killed the appearance of the earrings.
I send them back to amazon the day after Christmas. Amazon processed the return quickly and even reimbursed my shipping costs for sending them back. Their service and support couldn’t have been better on this purchase, but the quality of the diamonds just wasn’t up to par with what I was expecting.
Maybe it was my fault for being a little too cheap, but maybe these are discounted so cheap for a reason. So buy at your own risk, but do buy something from Amazon, they couldn’t be better at what they do!

The Diamonds were as promised. The quality was superb. My wife was very pleased with them as I had hoped.

Based on an earlier review I was reluctant to place an order because if it states IJK Color and I2-I3 Clarity I expect to receive K Color, I 3 Clarity and diamonds that total less than 1 cttw. However, with this purchase I was greatly surprised. The earrings I received were H-I Color, I 2 Clarity and 1.08 cttw. I could not be happier. The IGI certificate appraised them at $2,035, although I know they would never sell for that much. They were a great deal for the price. If you order them and are disappointed, you can always return them.

Didn’t sparkle quite as much as I had hoped, but still a great set of earrings for the price. No visible inclusions, even up close. The IGI certification estimates the replacement value (for insurance purposes) at more than triple the price paid, and reports 1.06 cttw. I was prepared to be disappointed when they arrived and have to return them, but instead was pleasantly surprised.

bought this as a gift. the recipient was exhilarated (of course). nice, good size diamonds. came with certification. BUT the gold prongs/stud make the diamond looks smaller and diminish its clarity and luster. if you contemplate purchase of this one, i would suggest a platinum prong/stud instead (i purchased both for two different person and the difference is enormous).
