- What do the 1.40 ct. studs look like on the ear?
- Each stud is about 5.7mm across, so the pair reads as a clear, noticeable sparkle without covering the lobe. That size sits between the smaller 1.00 ctw and the larger 1.80 ctw versions.
- How do these compare with the 1.00 ct. and 1.80 ct. versions?
- The 1.40 ctw pair splits the difference: each diamond is about 0.70 carat versus roughly 0.50 carat at 1.00 ctw and 0.90 carat at 1.80 ctw. The setting and diamond grades are the same across the line, so the choice comes down to size.
- What do I-J color and SI1-SI2 clarity mean here?
- I-J is near-colorless with a slight warmth, and SI1-SI2 means small inclusions that are usually not visible without magnification. In a stud this size, the warmth is subtle and the stones still face up bright.
- What kind of backs do these studs have?
- They use a post and friction back, the standard push-on style. That makes them quick to put on, but the backs can loosen over time, so check them periodically.
- Are these sold as a pair?
- Yes. The 1.40 carat total weight is split across two diamonds of about 0.70 carat each, one per ear.
- Is 14 karat gold suitable for sensitive ears?
- 14 karat gold is a solid gold alloy and is generally well tolerated by people with metal sensitivities, unlike plated or base-metal earrings.
