Black and white diamond

Black and white diamonds spiral down these graceful infinity drop earrings. Crafted in 10 karat white gold, they have a beautiful interwoven design, creating three marquise-shaped loops. A total of 52 black and white diamonds (1/4 cttw) are prong-set along the fronts of the earrings. These include .17 carat of black diamonds and .08 carat of white diamonds (I-J color, I3 clarity). The earrings dangle below diamond-accented trillion shapes at the posts. They are finished with butterfly friction backs. These earrings are too small and thin to do justice to the unique design. For the same reason they are stiff and do not dangle like one would expect looking at the picture. On the other hand the diamond quality is pretty decent for the price but will only glitter with enough sunlight and not indoors. I got them during the black diamond sale for about $100 but subsiquently returned them for a refund.My husband bought the original set of earrings from Friedman's and unfortunately the first time I wore it, I lost one. :-( A month later he purchased this set to replace the original and I was highly disappointed to see that for the same price, the earrings are a whole inch smaller! Apart from the obvious size difference, the stones are of inferior quality.
