Are these real diamonds?

Yes. They are genuine diamonds at 1/8 carat total weight, which is a small accent size. Expect subtle sparkle, not a bold flash.

Is 10k rose gold good for earrings?

10k gold is 41.7% gold, so it is harder and more scratch-resistant than 14k or 18k. The trade-off is a slightly duller color and less pure gold content.

How big are they on the ear?

They are 15 mm long, roughly the width of a pencil eraser. That is small enough for daily wear and for a second ear piercing.

What is 1/8 carat total weight?

It is the combined weight of all diamonds in the pair, about 0.125 carats. Each stone is very small, so the halo look comes from many tiny diamonds.

Are they hypoallergenic?

10k gold is usually fine for sensitive ears, but rose gold alloys often contain copper. If you react to copper or nickel, check the full metal composition first.

When is the best time to buy?

Diamond studs commonly drop around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Black Friday. Track the price history and buy when it sits near the low end of its range.
