Going to try to keep this short as I’m irate. First the good news.. Bought as a budget-priced gift because we agreed on spending limits for a random anniversary. They were an amazing price compared to similar earrings. Perfect diameter for my lady. Came in two days thanks to Prime.. amazon shipping always rocks. They sat in hiding, couldn’t resist giving it to her they were shimmering so beautifully. You’ll never see sterling silver look this good and 1/2 ct diamonds that shone like this. When I gave them to her a few days early as a surprise, she cried in astonishment. When she considered what they should be priced her mind was reeling on how much I spent. Also, her current loop earrings which were plain silver with no expense to them at all were totally tarnished and medium sized loops are her style.

Now the bad news.. Within 12 hours, THREE diamonds in a row had fallen out. Not even from being put on. She tried them on for a moment the night before and put them away to save them to show her friends/coworkers. When taking them out to wear, three diamonds were sitting in the bag. Three in a row, from the top, which is a sign of extremely poor crafting. We took them to a jeweler just to get an opinion on what to do. They said it was akin to totaling a car as soon as you buy it without ever driving it. The prongs that hold the diamonds in? They’re all crooked. Most are larger on one side than the other. Diamonds looked really high quality and pretty she said, but the diamonds are all set improperly, the jeweler said they would have all fallen out within a week. Total cost to fix earrings? Let’s just say.. well over even at a friendly, cheap local jeweler.

If you’d like diamond earrings that can shock and wow your lady for 12 hours, go ahead and get these. I will be returning these and not buying jewelry that’s not reviewed on Amazon again. Take my word for it, these are not discounted earrings.. just cheap pieces of trash holding together GORGEOUS diamonds..

I had been looking for diamond hoops to replace a pair I had lost. I put them on my wish list at the higher price and was pretty, pretty, pretty, pleased to see the price reduction. I read the only review and was really turned off after I read this customers review, but then I went with my extensive knowledge of diamonds and prices and am extremely happy with them. I have had them on for 2 weeks,they are very comfortable and I wear them with another pair of hoops (hand set expensive rubies) all of the time, sleeping, swimming, walking and never take them off. They are small, the stones are sparkly, more chips than stones but I am very happy with them. They are not a pair of hoops to expect your friends to drool over or trip the light amazing. They are just nice, comfortable wear with everything hoops. Great for the price, really comfortable, and no stones have fallen out so far and I am very hard on my jewelry. Buy them if you want something to wear for everyday sparkle.
