I lost my last pair of real diamond earrings, and had forgotten how expensive they can be, so wanted to give cz a try. When I opened these I was amazed at how real they looked, they honestly could have been real, and very high quality diamonds. I got the 1 CT tw size, and while I love it and won't be returning it, I may recommend sizing down from that. They're a little bigger than expected (which may be a plus to some). They still look good, but honestly I don't know that it's believable that I could afford flawless-lookind diamonds this big! The posts, backs, and prongs all seem to be sturdy too.

Most importantly I've been wearing them for two days straight now and have had no issues. Showered with them in, slept with them, etc. That was my whole point of looking for ones with gold. I can get away with wearing cheap earrings for a day usually, but can't sleep in them or wear for two days plus or my ears will get mad. I'm really lazy and don't want to have to remember to take them out, or put them back in, so these should be perfect. If I end up having sensitivity I'll update my review.
