18k White Gold Round Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/3ct tw, H-I, SI2)

These classic diamond stud earrings are a timeless gift. They feature round-cut diamonds with a total carat weight of 1/3 carat. The diamonds are mounted in a four-prong setting on posts of 18k white gold for pierced ears. The posts are threaded, and the rounded backings screw on for a comfortable and secure fit.
These are fine quality diamonds, with exceptional brilliance. They are near-colorless, with a minimum color rating of H, and appear white to the eye. The clarity rating of these diamonds is Sl1-2, meaning there are small inclusions that can be seen somewhat easily under 10x magnification. These inclusions are not visible to the unaided eye, however, and the diamonds appear clear in the mounting.
The cut, proportions, and symmetry of the diamonds--characteristics which determine their brilliance--are good to very good. Most to nearly all of the light that enters through the table, or top facet, of the diamond will reflect back out, creating the deep brightness, or brilliance, that gives diamonds their special allure. The table percentage for these diamonds, meaning the width of the table compared to the diamond’s total width, is 50.4-65.5%, and the depth percentage, or total height of the diamond compared to its total width, is 57.5-64.5%. Optimal table and depth percentages maximize a diamond’s ability to reflect and refract light, but they also require a great deal of the diamond to be cut away, leaving less carat weight. While the table and depth percentages here span a slightly broader range than those of higher quality diamonds, they still allow the diamond to handle the light beautifully, and they have the advantage of offering a beautiful balance of size and quality for the value. These essential earrings are simple enough for daytime wear, but elegant enough to accent evening attire.

Listen to the Reviewers / Report
You're going to see over and over again, "better than I expected;" or "I was nervous about buying from AMZN but I was amazed at how nice they are;" etc. etc. It's absolutely true. Great stones, great settings, constructed in a really high-quality way. Unless you're giving these to your wife who's going to see the credit card bill anyway, I am pretty sure that most folks who receive this as a gift will have a far higher estimation in their minds regarding what you paid and how much of a pain in the rear you went through to find something so nice. So you've already taken all the credit, and then you still have $$ left over to take her out to that fatty boombatty dinner...or to max out your Roth IRA for the year if you're feeling somewhat less romantic.



Excellent Deal!! / Report
I received these earrings for Christmas and I LOVE them, they are just beautiful. They are actually quite a bit nicer than described (better cut, clarity, etc.) I shopped around a lot before choosing them and putting them in my Wish List where my husband could find them :-) and you can NOT find diamond earrings of this quality at a better price anywhere. Your wife/girlfriend/mother/self NEEDS them, trust me.



Awesome / Report
I bought this pair of earrings for my fiance for christmas and she was just blown away. She even asked me if I would return them because she didn't think she deserved such a nice gift. Just excellent in service when I get them delivered to her and now she knows I love her more than before!!
