These very dainty diamond stud earrings are subtle and versatile. Petite round diamonds (.06 cttw) are bezel set in 14 karat white gold, and the earrings are finished with 14 karat posts and friction backings. The 2.5mm studs can be worn as a main earring, or as an accent pair for multiple piercings. The 14 karat gold setting is beautiful and durable.

I’m very surprised by all of the negative reviews these earrings have received. They are exactly what I expected, size-wise, and the diamond quality surpassed my expectations.
First of all, .06 carat is NOT big. If you go to any major department store and check out the smallest stud earrings, chances are they’re 1/10 carat. Realize that .06 carat is 60% of that weight, or a little over half. That’s small. They’re 2.5 mm, which is about 1/10 of an inch. Whip out a ruler, mark off an inch, divide it into 10 sections, and imagine an earring the size of one of those sections. Not big.
This is exactly the size I was looking for. These would be very small earrings for a sole piercing, or even for young children. They are nice for secondary ear piercings, especially if you have small ears. I wanted TINY diamond studs to wear with my .5 and .75 carat stud earrings; I preferred bezel over prong settings for this purpose, and it was very difficult to find such earrings. I ordered a pair of 1/10 carat bezel set earrings in 10k gold from a department store–I spent $50 on them, they were too large for my needs, and the diamonds were dull, gray, and full of carbon specks. These .06 carat earrings were the perfect size, 14k gold (instead of 10k), and the diamonds shine. While I am sure the stones are included, there are no visible carbon specks, and the cut is good enough to reflect enough light to make them sparkle. The posts seem slightly shorter than average so if you have very thick ears you may want to pass, but they work for me. I am very happy with this purchase at 70% savings. If you are realistic about the size of the earrings (what do you expect $25-$30 to get you, diamond-wise?), you should not be disappointed.Small and sparkly little earrings
