I bought these for the woman in my life. First time I've bought jewelry online, let alone diamonds--I was a little nervous. They're excellent quality, though. Let's do the 4Cs. Definitely "eye-clear," there are certainly no inclusions that I can see (VS2); they appear colorless to me; the cut is good. I don't believe amazon specifies it, which is a shame (although who really cares if it's not certified anyway), but in my diamond-dilettante opinion, the cut is simply "Good", and nothing more. Don't get me wrong, they're very sparkly, but they're not incandescent. When we woke up this morning it was still almost dark, and I could see she was wearing the earrings.

1/3 carat is the PERFECT size. Perfect. Any bigger and they'd look fake (and gaudy, ostentatious)... could probably have gone for 1/4 carat, but these are ideal. If you're worried about getting specks, I wouldn't go below 1/4 (personally).

The setting is very elegant. Platinum! The box they came in is quite nice--very presentable.

I'm overall overwhelming pleased. Diamond studs appear to be on near-constant sale on Amazon; I got 40% off which took them to $507.98 (this on 12/8/08). She likes them, she's happy, I'm happy :-)
