So sparkly

Great earnings!

OK, so as my title would suggest, I'm not really going to review this for their style or design (although I may comment on it). I got these for my wife as a simple "everyday" sort of gift. For about the price of a dozen roses, I figured a set of "diamond earrings" would be fun.They come in a decent little gift box - nothing fancy, but more than just a padded envelope. They were, however, noticeably bent when my wife opened the box. I pulled them out and was able to gently straighten them with finger and thumb pressure. This tells me that the settings holding the diamond chips are subject to flexing, which means that before long, these will start losing those diamond pieces.This is probably due to the fact that they are silver earrings, after all. Silver is very soft and putting a thin plating of gold over the silver isn't going to help much.The design is clever in that the front side has the diamond chips facing forward, and then the inner curve of the rear part is inlaid with the diamond paving, so that it also faces forward. You get maximum "glitter effect" facing forward from your ears while wearing them.For their relatively small size, they are fairly "chunky" which is something you'll have to decide for yourself whether or not you like.Overall construction seems good - the clasps function properly and the pins move easily on their attachments. The catches hold the pin securely, and are easy to adjust if needed.I don't know the retail price of these as of this writing, but if they are in the $50 range I'd say they represent a good value. Over $100 and I would say the value is questionable.

When I first opened the box, my heart sank. At first glance, I thought the "diamond" part was stamped metal, especially on the inside of the hoop (see my photo). So I went back to look at the description. It says .03 total carat weight. It doesn't say whether that is per earring or the total for both. Either way, it's pretty small so the lack of sparkle is not surprising. I took a photo and think it still looks more like stamped metal than diamonds in the photo. Even though there are diamonds there, the quality that shows through the most is the pattern of the metal underneath the diamonds. It's just not a very good look, in my opinion.The very curvy post turned out to be another negative for me. I found it very hard to navigate the turns of these posts through my ears. I understand the point behind them, but it was not comfortable for me to put them on.Bottom line: I am disappointingly unimpressed with these earrings. I love the inside-outside design on a pair of crystal hoops I have and thought that diamonds in the same deign would be even prettier, but it did not turn out that way.

I love to have things that I can wear which can be dressed up or worn more casually. This pair of earrings are very interesting. Let's take a look.WHAT ARE THESE EARRINGS LIKE?These earrings are very interesting. They are small loops. The front loop which the outside faces those who see us is covered in faceted silver squares each with a little diamond chip in them. When the earring gets to the bottom of the loop, the faceted squares change to the INSIDE Of the loop so once again, you can see the sparkles as you look at them. The illusion is that you will see sparkly hoops that are sparkly around the entire thing. It is quite ingenious.HOW DO THESE PERFORM?These come in an okay jewelry box for gift giving, but the box is VERY well protected. These earrings need to be handled carefully. The earrings close by a hinged bar going through the ear and then snaps down into the bent bars of the hoop. That is where it gets difficult. These are SOFT METAL.CAUTIONI know that it says 14k over sterling silver, but I was surprised at how easily they bent. You have to handle these CAREFULLY. The bars in the back that snap into the ear bar can be bent, so be careful when you wear these. Do not wear these laying down or if you are going to be putting pressure on these (earmuffs, etc). They can bend easily. I thought there was a hinge on the bottom at first because one bent so easily. If you are careful, they should last nicely. Just be aware of that.THE BOTTOM LINEThese are beautiful earrings. They look stunning in the ear, are easy to wear, and look very classy for many different outfits. Treat them very carefully as they will bend easily if you are not careful.MY RATINGFOUR STARS These are a little bit too easily bent- I wish they had done a better job of making them harder to bend. They are pretty and I love them. I just want to stress how careful you need to be with them if you want them to last.

I'm familiar with inexpensive "diamond" jewelry and how they fool the eye with minuscule diamond chips inside disks or cones of metal. From the photos, I had hoped that these would sparkle more than they do, even though I knew not to expect the glitter to come from the diamonds themselves. The glitter isn't bad, just not as pronounced as the pictures suggest. The great news is that these are sturdy and stamped .925 inside for real sterling silver. They have the flat, heavier "wires" that sometimes bother my ears because they are too thick. Not these. They are comfortable to wear. The clasp locks into place with no problem, although one side is easier to do than the other.The design of the hoops is somewhat unique. The fronts have the expected silver-and-diamond-chip design, but the back parts of the hoops have that design INSIDE the hoop, with the back outside, presumably hidden by hair, just plain sterling. This gives the impression that the "diamonds" are set in prongs. Approximately 1/4" at the base of each loop is smooth, solid silver.No one would never mistake these for expensive diamond earrings; however, the sterling silver is enough to make these look more substantial than one might expect. The wires are sturdy enough not to bend or break, and the design maximizes the glitter possible, even if they aren't are sparkly as the photos suggest.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

These earrings come nicely packaged and well protected. I was excited to get them out of the box as they look really nice on first inspection and have a very clever design where the 'stones' are on the outside at the front of the hoop and on the inside on the back of the hoop - meaning that you can see all the 'stones' from the front.The clasps are flimsy and difficult to get in without bending - you will need to be quite careful, mine bent on the very first attempt.I don't think all the 'stones' are actual stones - yet alone diamonds, but they do look quite sparkly and the design is nice.I have given them to my teenage daughter as she will like them and if they break or she looses one then they aren't actual diamonds or expensive.Nice design but could have been executed better.

If you are looking for a pair of good quality earrings at a great price, or a reasonably priced gift for a daughter, sister, mum or friend these are perfect. They would make a great little gift at a bride to be do as well.They give off no smell and they do not irritate your ears. They have to be handled with care, as with any small earrings really, as they are delicate. But the fact they are delicate is one of the reasons they look so good when you wear them, and one of the reasons they look far more expensive than they are.I took the photos of them in the gift box they arrive in as it is a lovely box and you might want to know what it looks like if you are intending to give as a gift. The lid has the name of the brand on it and the box is a white square cardboard box with a slide on lid. the inside is a foam sponge with a black velvet cover. Overall a very nice gift box.The earrings are high sparkle but not cheap looking at all. They are subtle and go with just about everything, including all hair colours and lengths I should think. They are good for day and night wear and flow well from casual to formal. They are easy to take on and off. They are smooth and shiny and well worth it.

These Aria Jewels Inside Outside Miracle Plate Natural Diamond Accent Hoop Huggins Earrings were very well received by my mother-in-law.They look elegant and delicate. The unusual design where the stones are on the outside at the front and on the inside on the back of the earrings means that you get a full set of bling when you look at them from the front. My mother-in-law liked this in particular.They feel secure when they are on and are easy to put them on and take them off. As with any silver plated jewellery, you need to make sure you take them off for sleeping and showering and that they are cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its shine.

These earrings came in a presentation box so would be ideal for a gift. I like them although they are a bit on the small side for me, about the size of a penny as shown in pics.They are sparkly around the edges but i have included pics to show properly what i mean so hope you find these helpful.The earrings do contain a 925 silver mark on the inside.I cannot yet review how long they last and how well they stand up to wear but will update if for any reason they do not last.Would recommend

They look as if they cost far more than they do, not cheap at all. They are a little on the fragile side and will twist or crush if treated roughly. The diamonds are very small and delicate looking - no bling here - and they just look simple and elegant. Most women would love to get something like this as a gift, and I have worn them for a couple of days straight and they haven't produced any hint of an allergy. If they don't make me react, then they are safe, I promise.
