14k White Gold 1/2ct TDW Black Diamond Stud Earrings

I never had black diamonds so I wasn't sure what to expect. When the earrings arrived, I was thrilled. I was even more excited when i wore them and other people knew exactly what they were. Saving to get larger ones.

Lovely earrings. However, I wish I had gone for a larger size.

I bought this earing not knowing what to expect and after receiving them I almost wear it everyday to work, though it is small you can actually see it from a distance. Just by paying less than a hundred, I can say I really got a good deal out of it.

I knew from the reviews that these were not going to be large studs, but they were smaller than I anticipated. The stones are flat in appearance and don't reflect light well. The setting actually glints more than the stone and that's not saying much. Maybe I expected more dazzle from a black "diamond" than what actually exists. I've never owned a black diamond before. These stones were a big disappointment paying nearly twice for them what I've paid previously through Overstock for stud earrings.

• How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Not very well. The earrings seemed smaller than even the displayed measurement. The stones were a nearly flat cut and not faceted as they appear in the photo.
• How accurate was the sizing? Technically, it was probably accurate, but the measurement display is not the greatest.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Less than what I expected for the price.
