What do the listed stone dimensions describe?

The clear oval cubic zirconia is measured at 7 Mm X 5 Mm. This measurement describes the stone dimensions on the earrings, which have 1.5 ct total stone weight. Prong settings leave more of a stone open than a closed setting allows.

The earrings use Butterfly (post) backings as their closure.

How to Care for Your Clear Stone Estate Earrings
