14k Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw, I-J Color, I1-I2 Clarity)
No jewelry wardrobe is complete without a classic pair of diamond stud earrings. Simple enough for daytime wear, yet radiant with evening attire, they offer sophistication and versatility all in one beautiful package. These classic studs, available in 14 karat white or yellow gold, showcase single round-cut diamonds with a total weight of 1/3 carat held securely in four-prong settings. The diamonds have great brilliance and sparkle. With a minimum color rating of I-J, they are near-colorless and appear white to the eye. Small inclusions, difficult to see with the unaided eye, earn them a clarity rating of I1-I2. These earrings are featured on posts with friction-back closures.

Customer Review: Backings are a liability

These are typical size for the prize. They're not bad looking. My main problem are the backings. These were a small gift for my girlfriend. I had read reviews from 1 year ago warning about the backings. I thought Amazon must have fixed the problem based on the reviews. Then my girlfriend almost lost both of the earrings. After only a week of use, she actually had both earrings in her ears without the backings, because the backings had fallen off at some point. She was lucky she didn't lose them. After that she switched to a different backing and it hasn't happened again.

Customer Review: What's that black spot?

Now I'm no jeweler, but I have bought my partner a few diamonds over time. And I know a little about the C's of a diamond. And if I am reading correctly your not supposed to be able to see imperfections in these without magnification. There is a spot in one of the ones that ordered that can be see while wearing them. I think the ratings on these are skewed a little. Not as high quality as they are listed to be.
