I bought these for my 83 year old Mother for Christmas. Okay, so they aren't solid gold and the diamonds are more like diamond flakes but she was thrilled. She's in a nursing home and doesn't get out ever so clothes and the usual old person gifts were not an option. She thinks she's really special showing all of her nursing home friends her new diamond earrings. Fortunately her eyes and theirs are not so good but it made her happy and the price was right so if she loses one or both it's not going to be the end of the world. At these prices I can always find something comparable to replace them with.
