I bought these princess-cut earrings together with the round-cut ones. I am satisfied with these earrings, but the reasons why I am giving 4-stars are: (1) The round-cut has more brilliance than the princess-cut studs, (2) The stems are shorter than average studs (also shorter than the round-cut studs), so if you have thick earlobes, it might be a challenge to wear these. For me, the stems are just right.
