The studs, diamonds and backs are very small--exactly what I expected from 1/4 carat earrings for this low price. I changed the small backs for slightly larger, more sturdy ones. I gave them 4 stars because they are what I expected and what I wanted. Something small to wear in the second set of earring holes. I wear these earrings 24/7, taking them out to clean once a week. These are perfect for my needs.

The diamonds don't sparkle a lot, but come on, these are 1/4 carat earrings--what does anyone expect for the size. These earrings are as good as the last pair I paid $250.00 for at a big box store and ended up losing one within months. These would be perfect for a young girl or teenager's first pair of diamond studs, cute but not a major investment. I will buy again.
