I just want everyone to be aware of how earrings are often listed... they are listed by the total carat weight of the set.  So if a set of earrings is listed at 1CT that means that they are 1/2CT EACH!! not 1CT each otherwise they would be listed as 2CT... The same goes with any piece of jewelry with multiple gems, total carat weight, not individual carat weight.  This isn't always the case... but as many people seem to be complaining about the size of the gems it seems that this is the way the Amazon has the gems listed.
