They were a wonderful gift for my wife, up until she lost one. These little earrings stood out well for tne .2 ct size. The black looks bigger in smaller sizes as compared to traditional (clear or white) diamonds. So this size worked well for my wife b/c she does not like to bling a whole lot....  Great craftsman ship was noted and the stems and backs were not cheap or flimsy at all. Im buying the 1/4 ct or 1/3 this time around; they might be easier to find when she drops ome next time!
