Moissanite Earrings

About Moissanite Earrings

Moissanite earrings offer a distinctive gemstone option for earrings. FITINY's collection spans over 100 styles — from classic moissanite stud earrings to dangle drops and hoops — with moissanite and some CZ options, primarily in S925 sterling silver.

Moissanite features for earrings

Moissanite's refractive index of 2.65 means it disperses light into rainbow fire from different angles — a quality called dispersion. In an earring that catches light as you move, moissanite's fire is noticeable. It also scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Some styles feature D-color moissanite, with round brilliant, cushion, halo, and geometric designs.

Styles in this collection

• Moissanite stud earrings — classic round brilliant set in a four-prong S925 mounting
• Moissanite hoop earrings — pave-set and solitaire hoops; high-movement fire
• Moissanite drop & dangle earrings — hook-back and lever-back drops; the stone swings for multi-angle light return
• Magnetic moissanite earrings — some magnetic styles are available for ears without piercings

Materials and quality standards

S925 sterling silver (92.5% silver) is used in many FITINY moissanite earring styles.

Frequently asked questions

Can you tell the difference between moissanite and diamond earrings? Moissanite and diamond are different gemstones with different optical properties. A standard thermal diamond tester can read moissanite as diamond; a moissanite tester or multi-tester tells them apart.

Do moissanite earrings tarnish? The moissanite stone itself does not tarnish. S925 silver can develop a patina over time with exposure to air and sweat — buff with a soft cloth or use a silver polish cloth every few months.

What is the difference between moissanite and cubic zirconia (CZ)? Moissanite is harder (9.25 vs 8.5 Mohs) and has a higher refractive index (2.65 vs 2.15). CZ and moissanite are different stones.
