Hello dears,
Unfortunately I bought diamond studs earrings for saving (because the budget was 600 euros including taxes) and I got from Ebay 0,60 carat (0.30 each) H color, purity SI1, but when I saw them in Packaging, they did not shine! They are cloudy in my opinion and perhaps with a wrong cut (declared excellent but I doubt it).
I brought the earrings to show here in Italy in jewelery and they told me they did not even want them, the quality is too poor.
At home I made pictures to compare with my loner. I'm aware that the loner is James Allen and he is of quality, but this difference in color and texture I did not expect. That's why it does not shine!
The earrings are H - SI1 (no GIA), the solitary is H - SI2 (GIA).

Made this mistake, now I try to return the earrings. But my budget is always around 600 € - 800€ TAX incl., but I have to be very sure of what I buy.

Yesterday in the Italian shop I saw earrings shining 100 times more. It is not a single diamond, but flowered. I know that a larger diamond costs more, but these earrings shone much more. Compared to my Diamond Studs they seemed to be triple!
Italian earrings:

Or this one

I just realized that Diamond Stud Earring is beautiful only if they are perfect, large and shiny, but they are out of the box, otherwise it's better not to buy because they look like they're not real and off.

Thank for your help!
 
mia_olga, you can open en ebay case for "item NOT as described". What you need is a jewelry appraisal that shows that the diamonds that you received are lower quality than sated in the seller description.
My recommendation is always to buy a diamond with GIA/AGS/EGL certificate. Also, do not buy jewelry with STOCK photos, always buy item which photos are actual/real - photos of the exact same item that you will receive!
