Buying guide
Moissanite is a hard, brilliant gemstone, 9.25 on the Mohs scale, so it stands up well to daily wear. It shows strong fire, the flashes of color you see when light moves across the stone, which is more noticeable than in a diamond. Because it costs far less than a mined diamond of the same size, moissanite lets you choose larger studs for the same budget.
Round studs give the most even sparkle. Oval, pear and marquise studs look longer and slimmer on the ear, while princess, cushion and emerald shapes give a more tailored look. Heart studs are a playful choice. The basket setting holds each stone securely and lets light in from the sides. Carat weight is picked on the product page as the total weight of both stones, from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight. A pair around 1 to 2 carats total weight suits most people for everyday wear.
The studs come in white, yellow or rose gold, offered in 10K, 14K or 18K, in platinum, and in Silvadium, a tarnish-resistant sterling silver. White gold and platinum keep the stones looking bright and icy; yellow and rose gold warm them up. Prices start under $200, and most pairs begin a little under $400 at their smallest option.
Each piece is made for you in 10–15 days. Shipping is free on orders over $500, and returns are accepted within 30 days.
Moissanite is its own gemstone, made of silicon carbide, while a lab-grown or natural diamond is pure carbon. Moissanite is slightly softer (9.25 on the Mohs scale against 10) and shows more colorful fire, while a lab-grown diamond or natural diamond shows more white sparkle. Moissanite studs cost much less for the same size, which is why many people choose them for larger pairs.
For many people, yes. Moissanite studs give a lot of sparkle and size for the price, and the stone is hard enough to wear every day without much worry. They are not an investment: moissanite has little resale value. If you want a bright, durable pair at a lower cost than diamond studs, moissanite is a sensible choice.
On this page, moissanite stud earrings start under $200 for a small pair, and most pairs begin a little under $400 at their smallest option. Price goes up with carat weight, which runs from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight, and with the metal you choose, such as 18K gold or platinum.
You can, since moissanite and the metals here are not harmed by water. Still, it is best to take them off: soap and shampoo leave a film that dulls the sparkle, and the backs can loosen over time. Clean them now and then with warm soapy water and a soft brush to keep the stones bright.
