Are the diamonds real?

They are lab grown diamonds, which have the same carbon structure as mined diamonds but are made in a lab. They are not cubic zirconia or moissanite.

How big are the stones?

The set totals 1/10 carat across 31 round stones, so each stone is very small. Expect a delicate sparkle rather than a large center stone.

Sterling silver can tarnish, but the rhodium plating slows it. Keep the pieces dry, store them in the box, and wipe them with a soft cloth.

Yes, but take them off before showering, swimming or cleaning. Hand wash only, and avoid perfume and lotions on the stones.

Diamond is the April birthstone, and the set comes in a gift box, so it works as a birthday present. The small stone size suits a first diamond gift.
