Are these real diamonds and real gold?

Yes. They are set in stamped 14k white gold with genuine diamonds, not cubic zirconia or gold plating. The white color comes from a rhodium finish over the gold, which can wear over time.

How big do they look on the ear?

The cluster spreads the stones across a teardrop face, so they read larger than their total diamond weight. Owners say they still look smaller in person than in the photos.

Are they good for everyday wear?

They are better for evenings and events. The drop shape catches on hair and clothing, and owners report stones working loose with regular wear.

What should I check when they arrive?

Check each stone for wiggle and tightness, and look for uneven color or gaps in the setting. Return a pair with loose stones right away rather than waiting.

Do they come with a box for gifting?

They ship in a jewelry box suitable for presenting. Check the pair in person before gifting, since quality varies between pairs.

How do they compare with diamond studs?

Studs give one stone's full brilliance and sit closer to the ear. These give a wider spread of sparkle and a dressier drop silhouette, but each stone is small.
