Amazon CollectionIGI Certified Platinum Round-Cut Diamond Stud Earrings

These earrings are beautiful but I've bought them twice now and both gemologist reports state that they are 14k white gold, not platinum as advertised. Thankfully I can see the stamp that says plat but I don't have a report for insurance now.

I purchased these earrings and I am excited about the quality but not the size. To be fair, I knew little about diamond studs until I did research on Amazon and learned a bunch over the course of a couple of weeks, but the one thing I wish I'd seen was pictures of diamond studs in "actual" size next to each other -i.e. not blown up on the screen to look pretty. The 1/4, the 1/3, the 1/2, the 3/4, and the 1 carat total weight pairs would have been nice to see all at once. Had I seen this I might have opted for the larger size (and perhaps slightly lower quality so as to afford it). Yes, you can print the helpful "actual size" report from Amazon, but this does not have any small sizes except for the 1/2 and 1 carat studs (and nothing in between).One more thing, the gemological report that I received was NOT as detailed as the "sample" on the website. There appears to be an actual photo of my diamonds on my report but you do NOT see the drawings that show flaws and occlusions. This would have been nice. Also, there are fewer descriptive terms in the ratings than I expected. For example, on my certificate it says "G-G/G-G" for Polish and Symmetry. Although it was bound and presented well, I had hoped for something more like the sample on the website.On the flip side, these diamonds are really high quality. I compared them to a coworkers larger studs and it was immediately apparent that these were colorless and clear (to my eyes) while the others were a bit cloudy and not as nice.The quality of the studs was as advertised. One stud was VS-1 and the other was VS-2 and the color for both was G-H. The Total Carat Weight was 0.72 (not the 0.75 as hoped for) but this was above the guaranteed minimum spec. of 0.70.The product was received very quickly, and was well packaged and presented. I would absolutely purchase this type of thing from Amazon again...

Got the pair for my wife, last year, for our anniversary, I just did not hv time to write a review. The pair comes very speedy, a couple business days after the order.Coming with the IGI certificate (one of the best and well-known international certificate) and a nice box; With the help of 45x "mini" microscope and 30x loupe (bought both in Amazon), I could see the certification number laser-etched at the edge of each of the diamond, each has own number. That must be a genuine pair.The color G-H looks stunningly white, one G and the other is H, The H color has a a little bit bigger carats than the G, well balanced out. I was kinda hope both are G color, which is possible too. The clarity VS2 of each is really good looking in the loupe/microscope. The mini microscope has an LED light that light-up the look while inspecting it. It is much different compared to SI, or any I's clarity that I have just seen a few days earlier in our local stores. Only a very few "lines" in the diamond. The cut is also flawless as well as the mounts. I think that the cut and the clarity works together to reflect the "Bling" under lights. The less lines the more clear and the less distortions of light are reflected. The platinum prong feels different than the white gold, or is it just my feelings? Well, it just looks different compared to her white-gold jewelry, more "bold" silverish color. Back then I have compared the prices among some jewelers and found the Amazon's price is the best. You have to do that before ordering. I just share my experience about the quality of the stuff.

Overall... these were pretty good diamonds for the price. However, a big issues was that the cut was listed as "Very Good" but the IGI rating just listed it as good. I immediately contacted Amazon support and got quick feedback. They suggested ordering another one and returning this one. I did - with the same result.One of the big problems here is that you cannot speak to a jewelry rep. You get a general customer service rep immediately but they have to pass you info over to the jewelry department which can take a couple business days to respond - and only via email. This is pretty bad for a company trying to exceed customer service standards! Dont get me wront - their reqular reps tried to help but were limited in what they could do and the information they could get. Especially Jeremy - this guy was dedicated! But again, he was limited in what he could do because of the jewelry department.On my final email to customer service I noticed they took off the cut description on the website.Again... good diamonds and size for the price. I was a little upset that the price was factored on a Very Good cut even thought the diamond wasnt exactly that. My return was processed with no issues.

I also bought a set of Cubic Zirconia Studs in the same size and shape. Hold them up together and you can't tell the difference in the stones ( my daughter couldn't tell either). What I received here was .99 carat, F colored, S2 clarity with a very good cut. Nice and my wife will love these. But I am going to switch the two sets before I put them under the tree. I bet that unless she looks very closely at the settings she won't be able to tell the difference. Lets see $3,400 vs $19.95. I don't know, for all that extra money it should be much better than the fake. Hence the reason for the 3 stars****CORRECTION****The clarity is VS2 not S2. My error, I apologize for the error.

The earing was sparkling

Bought these for my wife's birthday. They exceeded my expectations and she absolutely loves them. They are not huge and not tiny; they're just right. The sparkle from these stones is amazing. My wife had one stud from years ago, that she wore every day. She put one of these in next to the old one - NO COMPARISON! The earrings come with an IGI appraisal summary. Compared to other sources, these are a great value based on size, color and clarity. I shopped around plenty. Bear in mind free next day shipping and free no questions asked returns. I've bought my wife other jewelry on Amazon, and have never been disappointed.
