These are very large earrings. Post is not plated- stainless steel instead from the looks of it.

This is advertised as stainless steel, but this earring turned my ear hole black and has caused an infection - stainless steel should NOT do that. While I really liked the way the earring looked, it wasn't worth the pain of an ear infection. You can even see in the picture where whatever coating was on the earring wore off IN my pierced ear. Completely unhappy with this product.

I'm glad they haven't infected my ears. But I'm disappointed on how dull they are, looks nothing like the photo.

I've had my gold plated opal studs for a few months now and worn them a handful of times.  They are (were) pretty, princess cut opals of a nice size and color.  I was going to wear them today and found that the metal setting and ear nuts had turned black, just sitting in the box that they arrived in.  I honestly couldn't tell, or remember, if they were gold or silver settings but polished them (with Sparkle silver polish) to remove the black and now they look in between, sort of a dull silver.  I never did get the ear nuts cleaned and shiny again.

I am sad!  I liked these a lot and I'm disappointed that the plating didn't last.  I usually trust Amazon Collection to be of decent quality but these fell short, in my opinion.  The silver may be different.  I can't say.

I give these three and a half stars as I do like the opals and the stones haven't fallen out, even with a rather vigorous cleaning with a toothbrush.  They are still wearable but not shiny or gold like I when I purchased them.  I'm not sensitive to metals but would be cautious if I were.

I purchased these earrings for my daughter for Christmas. The yellow citrine is her birthstone. The earrings look darling in the picture, but the earrings I received look nothing like the picture. They are so pale you can hardly call them yellow. Too much of a hassle to send them back, so I guess she is stuck with them.

Wow, was I disappointed. These sounded so cool in the description. The actual product is not pretty, to put it mildly. They are a dull finish...not brushed, just dull. They are very big, which would be great if they were attractive earrings, but they are not. They just look cheap. I am going to see if I can return them. If not, I will donate them to a charity...maybe someone else will like them.

I purchased these earrings as a Christmas gift for my fiancee. They were the only diamond studs I could find in my price range. I didn't expect much in the way of clarity and sparkle and I'm glad that I didn't. The stones are quite cloudy, milky, with very little glitter at all. The metal is very light and fragile. The earrings arrived in a bubble wrapped cheap paper jewelry box with NO PAPERWORK whatsoever. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THESE ARE REAL DIAMONDS. I think I will keep them and hope that the lady likes them, but I don't think I will ever buy cheap jewelry online again.

I purchased these while I was traveling and its only now that I had a chance to look at them. First and last time I'll buy jewelry on the net.  First I specified white gold and I received yellow gold, second these earrings look really cheap. This was intended as a gift for my daughter needless to say she won't ware them.

Mine arrived and the "yellow" stone which is so prominate in the picture, is lousy on mine. Also the red is ok,but cheesy looking, kind of like junk earrings. Poor African that made this..someone needs to retake the pic of these earrings.they did come with authentic notecard, which was nice. But I'm sending them back for the money paid.

These are nice basis earrings, except they are stamped "stainless steel" on on side. Yes, the imprint is visible. How hokey is that. I'll keep them, but am very disappointed.

This looks a little cheap in person, I chose these because they were the only ones that were supposed to look like polished metal but I think I'd have been better off buying stainless steel (which cost less than this).

They're decently nice earrings, and I understand they're only $30, but after reading the reviews I was expecting better. The stones had scuffs on some the edges and arrived dirty. Even after a cleaning they didn't shine how I had hoped. Outside the stone, the setting is very light, almost flimsy. My girlfriend liked them, I wanted to send them back because I didn't think they were nice enough for her, but whatever, only $30.

I got one that seemed to have been previously worn, perhaps a resold item? Sides and base of band were badly scuffed. Even it it had been shiny and new, I was disappointed. It looked cheap. Maybe it was because the crystals were dirty. Either way, it's going back.

The stones' color is NOT as shown; in fact, they're nearly clear, so they look like big crystals. Also, the earring mechanism (the leverback) felt very cheap. I returned them, but, even if I'd liked the lack of color in the stone, I might have returned them anyway because the metal didn't look like it was long for this world.

It came opened and looks like it's been used... it's dirty and rusted looking... the metal is very very sharp.  Wish I would not have bought this product and went with something different.
