 Cute design but bad quality diamonds +one diamond missing on arrival. January 25, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is the first time I buy jewelry online and I probably will never do it again if the item includes any diamonds or other stones (unless I am dealing with reputable companies/brands). The reason being that diamonds (I feel) you have to judge in person. I bought this as a gift for my sister and had shopped around in regular jewelry stores before I decided to buy these earrings. I decided to buy these because it seemed like a really good deal compared to what I saw in jewelry stores. For the same amount of diamonds (1 carat) you have to at least pay double in stores, the quality of the diamonds where however not good.
My detailed opinion:
Diamonds:
First of all, one diamond was missing when it arrived so of course I have to send it back. I am surprised that they do not make sure the product is not defect before they ship it (the missing diamond was not loose in the box either so it cannot have fallen out during shipping). Second, the quality of the diamonds is really low. I see that the review above raves about the sparkle and it is possible that the quality varies from pair to pair but if that is the case I was not lucky with the pair I received. About a couple of diamonds on each is actually clear, the rest is either whitish-cloudy or gray which does not give the earring a uniform appearance. On closer inspection I can see that many of the diamonds (around 15-20%) have indentations on the top surface. It looks like they have not been cut properly. I will definitely go back to jewelry store and buy a pair with smaller amount of diamonds for similar price because even with less diamonds they look much nicer. I guess I should have known that less (amount of diamonds) sometimes is more and less (price wise) is not always more. ;-)
The design and craftsmanship of the gold part of the earrings:
They are very cute and nicely made. The quality of the gold and how it is made looks high-end. The hinge is practically seamless and it seems to close securely on the ear. The size is perfect on the ear and if it were not for the issues with the diamonds I would have loved them.
The jewelry box (info for those who are buying a gift and wants to know):
The box on a scale from 1-10 is a 6-7. The box is nice and big and is blue (top and bottom) and yellow (sides) patterned faux leather on the outside and white soft faux leather on the inside. The box for some reason has a gold R on the outside but Netaya printed on the inside of the lid (this part looks a little cheap because it is a badly glued on sateen fabric piece with some loose threads and slightly wrinkled).
Shipping:
It arrived on time and well packaged. Now that I'll have to return it I hope that they will refund me the money I'll have to pay for mailing it back since it was a defect pair of earrings.
Will I buy from Netaya again?
Probably, if I am looking to buy gold or silver jewelry without stones and if the return of the merchandise and refund goes smoothly.
Hope you found this review helpful. Good luck jewelry shopping!

I was skeptical about these hoops thinking they would be tiny, they are far from that! I honestly am afraid to wear them outside! They are brilliant and beautiful. For the price you definintely get evey pennys worth! You can see them from a mile away!
