Firstly, I was hesitant with this pair because the video displaying the 1 carat white gold pair is actually silver. In the video I can see the 925 marking on the pair. I keep my jewelers loop on me when shopping for jewelry. They had the one carat white gold pair instore and wow, exactly like the pics and video. This pair is hallmarked 14k and they are clean, gorgeous genuine diamonds. They're about an inch long and with smaller diamonds on the top that gradually get larger towards the bottom. The way the diamonds are set, you can see them sparkle from all angles, not just from the front. Truly impressed at the quality. To the naked eye they look flawless and also look as if they're more than 1 carat. The closures are snug and properly close with no issues. They're a quality lightweight pair of hoop earrings, with gorgeous fine diamonds and if you're on the fence about purchasing these.....don't be, because they truly are worth it.
