18k Yellow Gold, Princess-Cut, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/4 cttw, H-I Color, SI1-SI2 Clarity)

The specifications were right - SI range inclusions and I color, but one has to take a leap of faith when it comes to the quality of the cut since we must purchase these earrings sight unseen. I am happy to report that these stones have a great sparkle to them and are well worth the extra money. I must admit that the 1/4 carat total weight leaves for some small earrings, but I'd rather offer the wife a smaller but high quality item rather than a larger but inferior set of stones with poor cut, quality, and color.

I recently bought these in white gold as a gift and could not be happier with them. They are larger than I had expected; I have a pair that are a 1/3 carat and these don't look much smaller than mine. I was really pleasantly surprised! Also, the quality of the diamond is quite good-with a diamond this size, it is virtually impossible to see any inclusions. I lucked into the 40% off sale going on as well.

These are small, tasteful and an excellent value.
I wear them nearly every day I love them so much!
I am extremely pleased by the quality.
The stones have an excellent cut and a wonderful sparkle.
I highly recommend (esp. on sale!).

The product was exactly as I expected -- great-looking diamonds for a great price. Comparably-priced diamonds at retail stores were only I2 clarity at best, and the difference between SI and I is huge even to the inexperienced eye.
