Hit or miss with low-priced diamonds

With this inexpensive grade of diamonds visible flaws can be very likely as can off-colors. Combine that with cloudiness rather than the clearly refracting internal facets of a good diamond and the stones are dull and lifeless.
Unfortunately the slightly larger size of 1/2cttw makes these flaws more apparent. The result is hit-or-miss depending on your particular stones. Mine was more miss than hit so I returned them rather than giving the flawed earrings to my wife. I also got a pair of the 1/3 cttw diamonds (very similar and cheaper): 14k White Gold Round Diamond Stud Earrings (1/3 cttw K-L Color I3 Clarity) . That pair worked very well and was bright and clear as shown by shining a flashlight into the stones.
Amazon's lenient return policy applies equally to jewelry of course.
For me at least these 1/2 cttw earrings didn't work. Not recommended.More detail ...
