FOR ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH DIAMONDS... As another reviewer mentioned,these are more of a radiant cut...but not the 'crushed ice' radiant; the corners are very squared, almost like princess cut... Still very pretty, but based on the size and odd cut, no one will think these are real diamonds.  So, if you're trying to 'impress for less,' go with the cushion or round cuts in the Amazon Curated Collection - these are just too big and oddly shaped to look like anything other than costume jewelry.  Also, as another reviewer mentioned - the posts are not in the middle of the backing, which causes the stone to kind of pass below the earlobe.  Personally, I like that look - kind of vintage looking  - but if you're searching for a more symmetrical pair or earrings, look elsewhere.
