Platinum, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings
Amazon.com Product Description
The best thing about these diamond earrings is that they can be worn every single day to show them off. Flirty and eye-catching, each round-cut stone rests in a four-prong setting made of (950) platinum. The diamonds have a total carat weight of 1/3 carats. The smooth finish of the metal and the light-reflecting cut of the gems make the pair immediately noticeable. Posts with friction backs keep the shiny pair securely on the ears. This is an essential accessory that can be worn frequently and with almost anything–it is certain to be a favorite.
These are exceptional quality diamonds. With a minimum G-H 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.

I bought these for the woman in my life. First time I’ve bought jewelry online, let alone diamonds–I was a little nervous. They’re excellent quality, though. Let’s do the 4Cs. Definitely “eye-clear,” there are certainly no inclusions that I can see (VS2); they appear colorless to me; the cut is good. I don’t believe amazon specifies it, which is a shame (although who really cares if it’s not certified anyway), but in my diamond-dilettante opinion, the cut is simply “Good”, and nothing more. Don’t get me wrong, they’re very sparkly, but they’re not incandescent. When we woke up this morning it was still almost dark, and I could see she was wearing the earrings.
1/3 carat is the PERFECT size. Perfect. Any bigger and they’d look fake (and gaudy, ostentatious)… could probably have gone for 1/4 carat, but these are ideal. If you’re worried about getting specks, I wouldn’t go below 1/4 (personally).
The setting is very elegant. Platinum! The box they came in is quite nice–very presentable.
I’m overall overwhelming pleased. Diamond studs appear to be on near-constant sale on Amazon; I got 40% off which took them to $507.98 (this on 12/8/08). She likes them, she’s happy, I’m happy :-)

This was my first diamond purchase. I got them for my sister. She was very happy to receive these. The diamonds are about 4mm in diameter. They are shiny. I did not notice any obvious clarity or color issues. Amazon has 40%, 50% and even 60% off deals on these very often. I’d never pay the list price. I paid $400 during one of the frequently regular jewelry deals here. Couldn’t be happier. Hope this helps.

The diamond stud earrings were what I expected and well worth the money. They are well crafted and brilliant in the light. Equally important, the shipment to Thailand arrived without a hitch. My wife wears them all the time, even when she’ sleeping or wearing other earrings. That’s the final word on “approval.”

Bought these for the wife for Christmas. They sparkle very brightly, seem quite clear, really nice set.
the 1/3 is a tad large for a woman’s second earing hole (if they have 2-3 holes up their ear and I believe that 1/2 would work just fine in the lowest hole, however the 1/3 works well there as well. If these are a second pair, I would go 1/4 if your going up the ear, but 1/3-1/2 carat seems perfect for the lowest ear hole.
I’m a guy what do I know?!

Besides an engagement ring, I have never bought any jewelry for my fiancée. After searching around what is available in the Philadelphia area, these earrings were the best deal. All said and done they were anywhere between 10 and 40% cheaper on here than anywhere else. They came in a very nice box and my fiancée absolutely loves them. The 1/3 caret is perfect for her ears. This was a great deal and I recommend it.
