Tiny paved diamonds advice

https://www.histoiredor.com/fr/produits/boucles-d-oreilles-puces-or-sofia-B3OFBDW6200. I wanted to buy these studs, but there is no information on the diamonds. Is it normal for this tiny size? Or should the store be able to provide some if I ask? What do you think about the price point ? Sorry it's in French, if you know reliable European vendors that would be welcome

I am in UK and have bought and import jewellery for myself for many years.

Based on my own experience, it is not uncommon for no specs being mentioned for tiny diamonds in cheaper jewellery.

When I was buying a pair of diamond earring jackets of 1cttw, there were two pairs that had the same spec in terms of overall diameter, gold purity and diamond carat weight, yet there was a significant price difference.

So I contacted the vendor to ask why, and was informed the more expensive ones had higher diamond spec as in higher colour and better clarity.

I recently bought a pair of diamond earrings via eBay, and the listing did not include any diamond spec. However the price was right and I liked the design, and they are quite sparkly IRL.

I made the mistake of viewing them under a loupe

and saw the spots as in very included stones, and had to remind myself I got what I paid for.
