Groupon sells more than 5,000 Swarovski earrings at $19 per pair

I said wow when I saw the Swarovski sparkling earrings on this Groupon page of Valentine's Day deals. And the more than 5,000 people who've purchased this Groupon deal probably said the same thing.

With a value of $70, the brilliant Swarovski stud earrings are marked down at a 73% discount, saving people $51 a pair when they nabbed them for only $19 per pair.

I guess anyone who's walked past a Swarovski shop with their diamond-looking sparking lights against those dark blue background can imagine how sparkly these earrings must look in real life.

(I take my kids in those Swarovski stores, imploring them, "Don't touch anything! Just look!")

It makes sense to buy these instead of dropping big bucks on real diamonds. First of all, when my husband bought me real diamond studs, I lost them.

Secondly, like I always say, that move "Blood Diamonds" had me viewing diamonds in a whole new light. However, I still love the fact that the ring on my left hand as I type is a real 1.3 carat one.

And I don't begrudge anyone who would want to buy a big "phat" diamond from Amazon through one of my Amazon Associates links.

Anyhoo, there are more than 5 days left to buy this deal as of this writing, one described as follows:

Swarovski six-prong basket stud earrings, set in platinum-overlay sterling silver, shimmer with diamond-like brilliance.
