Are these real diamonds and real gold?

Yes. The listing specifies diamond stones in 14k white gold, so the metal is solid 14k, not plated.

What does P2–P3 clarity mean for how they look?

P2–P3 maps to I2–I3 on the GIA scale, the lowest graded range. Inclusions are typically visible without a loupe, and the stones may look cloudy next to higher-clarity diamonds.

Is $551.70 a good price?

It is the only new price listed as of November 8, 2026, so there is nothing to compare it to. For 1.5 carats of diamond in 14k gold, it is inexpensive, but the low clarity is why.

How big are the earrings?

Each stud is about 0.25 inches wide and 0.25 inches tall. The 1.5 carats are split across two stones, so each is roughly 0.75 carat.

Do they come with a diamond certificate?

No grading report is listed. At this clarity grade, independent certification is uncommon, so ask Macy's for the specifics before buying.

When is the best time to buy?

Macy's runs frequent fine jewelry sales, and diamond studs are a common holiday and Mother's Day promotion item. Watch the price history for a drop below $551.70.
