- Is $149 a good price for half-carat diamond studs?
- It is a low price for 1/2 ct. total weight in F color and VS2 clarity. Comparable pairs in white gold usually cost several hundred dollars more. The trade-off is the silver setting.
- Are these real diamonds?
- Zales lists them as diamonds with F color and VS2 clarity. Ask for the grading report or certificate before buying to confirm the grades.
- Will silver tarnish or irritate my ears?
- Silver can tarnish over time and needs polishing. It is also a common metal for sensitive ears, but if you have reacted to silver before, white gold is safer.
- What size are the stones?
- Each earring holds about 1/4 carat, since the pair totals 1/2 carat. That is roughly 4 mm per stone, a modest size that sits close to the earlobe.
- What backs do they come with?
- The listing does not specify the backing type. Zales studs typically use friction or screw backs; confirm with the store before ordering.
- Can I wear them every day?
- Yes, but silver is softer than gold, so the settings and posts wear faster with constant wear. Remove them for showers, swimming and gym sessions.
- Where is the Zales Diamond Solitaire Earrings 1/2 ct. T.w. F/VS2 - White cheapest?
- At Zales, for $149.00, as of our latest check.
