10k Yellow Gold, Round, Diamond Stud Earrings (1 cttw, IJK Color, I2-I3 Clarity)

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).

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.

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.

I had to return them. The diamonds were too included. They looked like they were peppered. I ended up spending more money on a different pair, but it was worth it in the end.
