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 round-cut stone rests in a four-prong setting made of 18
karat white gold. The diamonds have a total carat weight of 1
carat. 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 fine quality diamonds, with exceptional brilliance.
They are near-colorless, with a minimum color rating of H-I, and
appear white to the eye. The clarity rating of these diamonds is
SI1/2, meaning there are small inclusions that can be seen
somewhat easily under 10x magnification. These inclusions are not
visible to the unaided eye.

Diamond Clarity:
No two diamonds are alike. A diamond's most distinguishing
characteristics are its inclusions, marks that are often
invisible to the naked eye. However, under a jeweler's magnifying
loupe or micro they can look like crystals, tiny rivers, or
clouds. A diamond's clarity is determined by the presence or
absence of inclusions--fewer inclusions mean better clarity--and
how visible they are. The greater a diamond's clarity, the
greater its brilliance and value. A diamond categorized as
internally flawless will have no inclusions, but this is
extremely rare.
Diamond Color:
Though diamonds come in a wide range of colors, colorless
diamonds have traditionally been considered the most valuable.
Most diamonds are graded on a scale using the letters of the
alphabet, from D (colorless), the best grade, through Z (a light
yellow). It is difficult for the untrained eye to notice such
variations in color unless stones are being compared side by
side.
Diamond Carat Weight:
A diamond's weight is measured in carats, with one carat being
equivalent to 100 points. You will often see a diamond referred
to as a 3/4-carat stone or a 75-point diamond. Larger stones are
often more highly valued, but size should not be the only
consideration--high brilliance, which varies according to
clarity, cut, and color grade, is highly desirable in a diamond.
Diamond Certification:
A diamond certificate represents independent verification that
the stone purchased has all the qualities of cut, color, clarity,
shape, and weight expected. It is a further indication of the
condition and value of that diamond as represented on our site.
Such certificates are issued by several agencies employing highly
trained gemologists and provide an unbiased and accurate
evaluation of the diamond. These gemologists scrutinize each
stone to analyze its dimensions, clarity, cut, color, finish,
symmetry, and other details.
Diamonds purchased from the .com Collection may be certified by
the Gemological Institute of America or the International
Gemological Institute. The type of certificate provided will be
noted in the product specifications of your jewelry purchase; if
you do not see a certificate type noted, one will not be
provided.
Our Diamond Policy:
.com sources high-quality diamonds from some of the world's
largest suppliers. All our diamond suppliers certify that to
their best knowledge their diamonds are not conflict diamonds.
Diamond Care:
Diamonds, as the hardest substance on earth, are resistant to
damage. However, diamond jewelry is set in different metals, and
care will vary from piece to piece. Diamonds should be cleaned in
a solution of one part ammonia to six parts water, using a gentle
scrubbing brush to remove any dirt. It is a good idea to have
them cleaned once a year by a professional jeweler, at which time
the security of the setting can be checked as well. Diamond
jewelry should be stored in a soft cloth pouch to ensure that the
stone will not scratch other jewelry.
