14K Gold, Round, Blue Diamond Stud Earrings

Let me first say that my girlfriend was very happy with these earrings, and she didn't want to give them up. However I am quite a bit pickier. These are not certified diamonds, and that accounts for the differences here. I bought a pair of ~1 ctw diamond earrings for my gf this past Christmas that were also not certified, but they were locally graded by my jeweler. The clear diamonds I bought were actually slightly less than .5 carats each (.47 I believe). The blue diamonds I received are noticeably smaller than the others when held next to each other or placed in the same ear. They have not been removed from their settings to be weighed or graded by my local jeweler, but the difference is obvious to the naked eye. I would say these are closer to .75 ctw than 1 ctw IMHO. If there is going to be a variance in tcw of the diamonds (and of course there will be some difference in selection), there should be a minimum listed instead of what is probably a maximum. Color is another...Read more

I really like the color of the earrings, but I was really expecting it to be the size of purchase. I had ordered 1/4 carat blue diamond earrings last year and with this purchase ordered 1/2 carat blue diamonds. But when you hold them up and compare the two sets, they are exactly the same size. I wished that they would have been true to the description on size since I was wanting to gradually increase in size.

I couldn't be happier. Don't forget 1ct is combined size. I would go bigger. I'm glad I didn't go smaller. The earrings are beautiful and I recieved them as promised. A great experience.
