I have always wanted real diamond earrings but I just cannot bring myself to pay the high price.  I thought the price and the reviews I read on these studs were great so I bought the 1ct studs.  WOW!!!  I got them today and put them on and within 5 minutes I had a compliment about how great they looked.  I do feel they are a bit too big for me but I love them.  I'm hoping this supplier comes out with a .75 carat set of stud earrings - I'd buy them in a heartbeat!! Great Christmas gift to myself.
