- Are these real diamonds?
- Yes. Each earring holds a genuine round diamond, totaling 1/4 carat across the pair. They are I color and I3 clarity, which is a lower grade than most fine jewelry stores show.
- Will the sterling silver tarnish?
- Rhodium plating slows tarnish and gives a white look, but it wears with friction and cleaning. Store them dry and re-plate every year or two if you wear them daily.
- Are the backs secure enough for daily wear?
- Friction backs hold well but loosen with repeated use. If you sleep or exercise in them, swap in screw backs or buy spare backs.
- How big are the stones?
- At 1/4 ct. t.w. across two earrings, each stone is roughly 0.12 carat, about 3 mm across. That reads as a small, subtle stud, not a statement pair.
- Is $122.85 a good price?
- It is the only new price listed as of November 7, 2026, so there is no competing store to compare against. Quarter-carat diamond studs in silver typically sell in the low hundreds, so this sits in the expected range.
- What comes with the earrings?
- You get the pair of studs with friction backs. Zales backs the diamonds with its Lifetime Diamond Commitment, which covers replacement of a lost or damaged stone under its terms.
