First Impression WOW!I happened to catch this item in the lightning deals this past Saturday. Never buying jewelry from Amazon I wasn't sure what to expect. I opened the package today and my first impression is WOW! The stones are set really well and the stones themselves are really nice. Sure to be a hit on Christmas!

Really inconspicuous...
These earrings are too small and thin to do justice to the unique design. For the same reason they are stiff and do not dangle like one would expect looking at the picture. On the other hand the diamond quality is pretty decent for the price but will only glitter with enough sunlight and not indoors. I got them during the black diamond sale for about $100 but subsiquently returned them for a refund.

Very CuteI got this for my girlfriend on Valentines Day. I did get the black Dragonfly necklace before this and was very happy with it. It has the same black diamonds and matched well. She loves these earrings. They are very cute. They are just the right size - a little less than a half-inch wide and about 1/2" tall. I got this product exactly as described and pictured. There were no reviews so I was a bit worried. Both myself and my other half give these 5 stars.

If you think these are small please read!I love black diamonds and have three pairs of earrings of different sizes all bought online. I've noticed that several reviewers here were surprised that these 1cttw black diamonds are smaller than expected. Please note before you buy so you don't end up disappointed:
-#1: These earrings are advertised as 1 CTTW meaning 1 Carat TOTAL Weight. In other words each stone is approximately 1/2 carat for a total combined weight of 1 carat. As anyone who has bought jewelry online before can tell you stud earrings are usually advertised this way.
-#2: Black diamonds are naturally denser than white diamonds and therefore weigh more (about 1/3 more). Thus a 1 ct black diamond will be approximately the same size as a 2/3 ct white diamond. Many online sellers provide the stone's diameter in millimeters as well as the carat weight. It would be very helpful if Amazon would list measurements on their stones as well but until they catch on just keep the weight difference in mind when buying black diamonds.
One more thing for those complaining about the price I priced a pair of earrings similar to these at Boscov's this weekend just to see how good a deal I got. Boscov's regular price on 1 cttw black diamonds in 14k gold was $799.00 but they were on sale for $391.00. Compared to that Amazon's price is a steal as long as you know what you're buying.
Those who do their homework beforehand are rarely disappointed with their purchases.
Happy Holidays!
