Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings - 2ct.

I had been having a hard time deciding on whether to purchase the 1cttw or 2cttw earrings. I wound up purchasing the 1cttw earrings a month ago. I love them! They are very believable and so sparkly. You can't tell they're not D flawless diamonds. I just really wanted something bigger. So, as such, I finally purchased the 2 cttw earrings. They are also extremely sparkly and beautiful. I really like them but they look very big on the ear which may come off as making them noticeably "faux" (which of course they are) but I love them anyway. I wish they had a .75 cttw size because that would be perfect for everyday wear. I do have a smaller earlobe so maybe this critique only applies to people with smaller earlobes. Anyway, both sizes are gorgeous, I just feel like the smaller size look more "believable" than the bigger size. The 1cttw are perfect for everyday wear and I'll save the 2cttw for fancier events. I think you'll be very happy with this earring.

these earrings are gorgeous! here's a tip...clean them often with a jewelry cleaner and they seriously sparkle like crazy! they are very very realistic. i seriously doubt ANYBODY but a jeweler could tell the difference between these and a real diamond. i love them! FYI: i have extremely sensitive ears and these have been wonderful. great for people who can't handle nickel and who have sensitive ears.

My wife told me months before our anniversary that all she wanted was a set of 1ct CZ earrings, not real ones. When I began looking, it was surprisingly difficult to find just 2 earrings at 1ct a piece? I looked at several web sites and felt that the Nordstrom site had what I was looking for. However, I was a bit confused on tcw. Was that for both, or just for each piece? Reading some of the reviews I got the impression that tcw was divided between the two earnings, I wanted to make sure I wasn't buying 2ct each per earring. I called to speak to Nordstrom and the rep told me that they would both be 2 ct each. I went with what I read in the reviews and was the right choice. 2ct. tcw means that both together are 2 cts. (1ct each) Although I was given incorrect info from Nordstrom, having a satisfied wife is all that mattered and is the reason for the 5 star rating. Also, if they were not what I wanted, I could return them at a nearby store even though I ordered them online.

Nordstrom used to have their standard three prong cz stud wiht a more pointed head behind the stone and this made the stud sit more flush on the ear. I'M SO BUMMED they replaced those awesome earrings with these!! These droop and look silly. I returned all three pair I purchased in different sizes!

The perfect, classic "all purpose" stud earrings. These look real in the platinum finish. I can go from morning through evening with just these and if you travel you need these earrings. No more worries about losing those sentimental diamonds. They're not so big they look fake and big enough to lend sparkle and finish to whatever you're wearing. They do marvelous things to a simple white tee and jeans. They sparkle like my diamonds and the three prong setting is beautiful. As an experiment I wore one of my diamonds and one of these to lunch with my eagle eyed, jewelry knowledgeable, friends and asked them to pick the diamond. Three out of five guessed wrong. They do need backings with the flat, soft rubber in front of the holder, they sit better. I would go with the platinum setting rather than the vermeil. The stones are gorgeous, the vermeil looks cheap.
