White gold, black diamonds
Amazon has serious quality control issues in their jewelry department, and these earrings are a perfect example. They fall far short of the advertised 4.5 mm. They are very pretty earrings, but I don't believe the ones I received were anywhere near 1 cttw. None of the jewelry stores I went to carried black diamond studs, so I couldn't compare them to pairs that were actually had their weight certified. The backs are very loose, so much so that I'm sure I will be paranoid when I wear them, checking my ears all night long. I did decide to keep them, since I got them for such a good price. Please see my customer image of this item.

Keep your metric measurer handy...
The first set came the wrong size (too small). Luckily, I had a metric measurement handy for this. I contacted Amazon, who initially sent me a reply as to the size they are supposed to be (thinking I didn't know how to measure them). So, I replied with the fact they still were too small (3 to 3.25mm versus the 4.5mm they are supposed to be). They did send out replacements (which were quite obviously larger than the first set).

While they did come through on this, it put a bad feeling in me about ordering gifts that might be sent directly to the recipient from thier jewelry selection (especially when the total carot weight matters).

I may order again for myself (these are for a gift anyhow, but I had them sent to me first), but not for any gift that goes directly to the recipient after this experience in ordering jewelry.

Black Diamond Studs -- Too Small!
Purchased for my wife; look a lot bigger than they actually are! Returned promptly!!!

I bought these earrings for my sister's birthday later this month but I really like them & may keep them for myself.

Mine arrived in a beautiful velvet box with care instructions included, along with with warrant & authenticity information.

In regards to the review stating her other diamond earrings are bigger but the asme cttw - the setting can make diamonds appear larger. Also, you get more light reflection on white diamonds than on black.

I got these as a lightning deal for $44.99 and consider it a STEAL!

Great deal
The 14k White Gold Black Diamond Studs (1 cttw) were exactly as described, and my wife loved them at first sight, what else can I say? Thanks...
