Our take on the Diamond Solitaire Earrings 1/2 ct tw Round-cut 14K White Gold (J/I2)

A pair of classic solitaire stud earrings, each set with a round brilliant-cut diamond in a four-prong setting of 14K white gold, totaling 1/2 carat. The diamonds are graded J color and I2 clarity, so they are near-colorless with visible inclusions at close range. Friction (push) backs hold them in place. No current price was provided for this listing, so it cannot be compared with its recent range here.

Questions and answers

Are J/I2 diamonds good enough for earrings?
Yes for everyday wear. At arm's length the J color and I2 clarity read as white and sparkly, but under close inspection you will see inclusions and a faint warm tint. Earrings sit farther from the eye than a ring, which helps.
What does 1/2 ct tw mean?
It is the combined weight of both diamonds, so each stone is about 1/4 carat. Each will measure roughly 4 mm across.
Will the friction backs stay on?
Friction backs hold by tension and are fine for normal wear, but they can loosen. If you are active or prone to losing earrings, ask about screw backs or replace the backs.
Is 14K white gold hypoallergenic?
14K white gold is usually plated with rhodium and is well tolerated by most people, but it does contain alloy metals. If you have known metal sensitivity, check with the seller.
What comes in the box?
Expect the earrings and a jewelry box or pouch from the retailer. Ask the seller whether a diamond grading report or certificate is included; at this grade it often is not.
When is the best time to buy diamond studs?
Watch for holiday and Valentine's sales and outlet promotions. Compare the per-carat price against other 1/2 ct J/I2 solitaire studs before buying.
