Platinum 3.5mm Comfort Fit Engagement Ring Setting
Platinum 3.5mm Comfort Fit Engagement Ring Setting
Setting Description
This solitaire setting measures approximately 3.5 mm wide and 2 mm thick, with a softly domed surface and substantial weight. The edges of the band are slightly squared off, allowing for a wedding band to fit next to it. The metal surface is highly polished to a beautiful mirror finish. This setting has a wonderful feel and fit, with the inside of the band rounded for comfort. With a classic look and comfortable feel, this setting will beautifully complement the center diamond.
This setting is made of platinum, a beautiful and popular precious metal for diamond jewelry. This pure white metal is the ultimate complement to the clear brilliance of diamonds. Platinum is typically 90 to 95% pure platinum, with the remaining percentage being alloys of other platinum group metals such as iridium and ruthenium for surface strength. Platinum does not splinter or wear away easily, making it the most durable choice for everyday wear. It is valued for its extreme rarity and incredible luster. As a precious metal, platinum will naturally patina, or scratch lightly on the surface, but the original bright polished luster can be maintained through an occasional cleaning and polishing.
Platinum, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (3/4 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity)
Platinum, Round, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (3/4 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity)
These classic diamond stud earrings are a timeless gift. They feature round-cut diamonds with a total carat weight of 3/4 carat. The diamonds are mounted in a four-prong setting on platinum posts for pierced ears. The posts are threaded, and the rounded backings screw on for a comfortable and secure fit.
These are exceptional quality diamonds. With a minimum G color rating, they are in the upper-most range of near-colorless and appear dazzling white to the eye. They have a minimum clarity of VS2, meaning there are very small inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification, and impossible to see with the unaided eye.
These essential earrings are simple enough for daytime wear, but elegant enough to accent evening attire.
Customer Review: Very nice quality diamonds
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...
Customer Review: Love my studs!
Just took delivery of these diamond stud earrings today (7/7/2004) and I am very very happy with them. First, the negative... but only a slight negative... I had to wait 2 and a half months for these :( But it was well worth the wait. Amazon shipped them complimentary next day air. The diamonds I received were beautiful. [...] I would definitely recommend Amazon for diamonds. Now I don't have to trek all the way to Holland and Belgium for my diamonds.
Platinum, Princess-Cut, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/4 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity)
Platinum, Princess-Cut, Diamond 4-Prong Stud Earrings (1/4 cttw, G-H Color, VS2 Clarity)
The best thing about these diamond earrings is that they can be worn every single day to show them off. Flirty and eye-catching, each princess-cut stone rests in a four-prong setting made of (950) platinum. The diamonds have a total carat weight of 1/4 carats. The smooth finish of the metal and the light-reflecting cut of the gems make the pair immediately noticeable. Posts with friction backs keep the shiny pair securely on the ears. This is an essential accessory that can be worn frequently and with almost anything--it is certain to be a favorite.
These are exceptional quality diamonds. With a minimum G-H color rating, they are in the upper-most range of near-colorless and appear dazzling white to the eye. They have a minimum clarity of VS2, meaning there are very small inclusions that are difficult to see under 10x magnification, and impossible to see with the unaided eye.
Customer Review: made mom cry
i bought these earrings for my mom for christmas.
when she opened them she cried, i knew i had done well at this point.
they are a bit smaller than i had thought they would be. i had never bought any kind of diamond before. so i don't actually know the size of a 1/4 cttw. to me it's about 1/8th of an inch.
these are nice, attractive, beautiful earrings.
