At one-fifth carat total weight, I knew these would be small diamonds, so I was not disappointed. They are sparkly little stones with nice color and clarity.  The Princess cut is one of my favorites and it seems to make these stones appear a bit larger, in my opinion.  I compared them to my one-third carat round diamonds and they really don't look much smaller.  What I do notice is that the gold setting is smaller.  It has 4 prongs, as you can see, and seems to be made well.  It does not stand up as far as my other earrings though, and lays quite flat to the earlobe.  I feel that this makes them less noticeable, and possibly, lets less light get to them to sparkle and shine.  They still shine when the light hits them, but I think they would shine more if they were set up a little higher.  This could be an advantage though, if you needed earrings that set closer to your skin, possibly for a child, for second or non-ear piercings, or maybe for a man that preferred less obvious earrings.

I was surprised at how they were shipped to me.  They came in a flat, cardboard envelope like you would receive a thin book or CD/DVR in. They were on a small, velvet-coated cardboard insert, like they were taken from a presentation box, stuck in a small zip-lock bag, and then put in the outer envelope-box.  Due to this, they were smashed and bent when I received them.  I felt that this was just sloppy and inadequate packaging and expected more for what they're priced at. They also have a very large tag with "MADE IN CHINA" on it that is securely fastened to one of the earring backs.  I would definitely not want to have this direct-shipped as a gift!  As it was, I was able to gently bend the post back somewhat without breaking it.

I am including some pictures that I hope will help.
