I bought these because I have been looking for a pair of CZ studs that don't have that cheap fake look to them. After finding these and seeing that they're platinum plated I decide to take a chance. I really wanted a pair for my Halloween costume but not something that was so big that I couldn't wear them anywhere else.

These are a pretty substantial size (I was expecting bigger but these are still really nice). They have a good weight to them and don't feel cheap. The setting is tight and high quality too. I could see how these might be a bit much for some people (especially those who try to not wear flashy jewelry) but if you like bling and either are too scared to wear the real thing that's this size or don't want to pay for it, these are a great alternative and are pretty hard to discern from the real deal.

I think these would be fine to wear to the office or for a night out. For evening I prefer more bling so I'm hoping I can find this identical pair in a larger size but these will still get a lot of mileage. The cushion cut along with the setting makes them look slightly square but it's a nice compromise if you don't like round but don't want to compromise the sparkle (fire) in the square. I fall into this category and love them. Great buy.

Take a look at the customer image on the earlobe- very accurate if you're trying to get an idea.
