Nice for the price, but really the right size for a preteen girl or younger. Looks like 1/4 carat equivalent - may be a 1/3rd each. I got these AND the 7mm thinking the larger ones would be TOO large and these would look more realistic, but the larger ones are perfect (look like just over a carat each) and actually have MORE fire than these little ones, which I think are very obvious fakes. If you're just looking for some nice sparkle, they're great for the money and very well made. No funny bumps or asymmetries, and the post and backs support well and fit securely (for my pair). They're too small for me, though, so I'll be giving them to my 8 year-old goddaughter.
