What does the carat weight refer to?

It is the combined weight of both diamonds, not each one. A 0.50 carat pair means two stones totaling about 0.50 carat, so each is roughly 0.25 carat.

How do princess cut studs compare with round studs?

Princess cuts have a square shape and four pointed corners, giving a sharper, more modern look. Round brilliants usually face up larger and sparkle more broadly at the same weight.

Which metal should I pick?

14KT gold is the durable everyday choice and the most common for studs. 18KT gold is softer and richer in color, and platinum is the densest and most scratch-resistant of the three.

Are the diamonds natural?

Yes, the listing describes natural diamonds. It does not state color, clarity or cut grades, so ask for the grading details before buying if those matter to you.

Are princess cut diamonds fragile?

The four pointed corners are the vulnerable part, more so than a round brilliant's edge. Prong settings that cover the corners protect them, and it is worth having the prongs checked periodically.

What comes with the earrings?

The listing covers the two diamonds and the metal setting only. It does not mention a box, certificate or backing style, so confirm those details with the seller.
