post issues, April 17, 2010

I got these earrings because they looked great and I liked the review. I too think they are very nice, the only issue is the extremely sharp posts within the hoop. The earring is hinged and the post is enclosed so it clicks shut. The edge of the post is extremely sharp and can tear your ear hole when you are manipulating it into place. I ended up having to put these earrings in my lower holes even though I bought them for my second ones because they punctured the inner cartilage when I put them on. Needless to say, icky. If you have thick ear lobes I would be very weary of buying these because the posts are not wide, if you do not have this issue then these earrings are great and very secure. You won’t have to worry about losing them.

beautiful – just what you’d hope for!, October 1, 2009

I purchased these earrings for an early xmas present and was delighted when they arrived. Stones are bright and sparkly. They look like more than 1/4 ct of diamonds. Love the hinged design of the earrings.

Hoops are about 0.8 inch diameter so are appropriate for teens/younger girls as well as adults and the price was spectacular: 0 delivered! I think they are on par with these earrings:

14k Two-Tone Diamond Hoops (1/8 cttw, H-I Color, I2 Clarity), which are approximately the same size and also from the Amazon collection. The earrings cited are almost half the price (yes, I bought both). The big advantage of these earrings over the others is the hinge mechanism which means the hoop is ‘solid’ and the post fits into the solid back of the earring. on the other pair cited, only the post hinges and it secures into a wire catch on the back side of the loop. This design may be more prone to wear and loss if the post becomes unattached at an inopportune time. I’ll let you know after 6 months of wear.

Both of these earrings are dainty and appropriate for formal or casual wear. I only wear gold earrings because of a metal allergy, so to find diamond earrings at this price was spectacular. Would love to see these in a yellow gold style but the white gold actually makes the diamonds look a more substantial size than they are.
