About Moissanite Stud Earrings

Moissanite stud earrings are the easiest way to wear a colorless stone every day. This collection covers classic solitaire studs, halo studs and fancy cuts, with a variety of stone colors and grades. Most styles are designed for pierced ears, and the collection also includes some magnetic styles. See our magnetic moissanite earrings for magnetic, non-piercing styles.

What makes a good moissanite stud?

  • Color: Some styles are listed as D-color — the top, fully colorless grade on the GIA D–Z scale (ice-white, no tint).
  • Clarity: Some styles are listed as VVS — inclusions invisible to the naked eye and hard to see even at 10x.
  • Cut: round brilliant for maximum sparkle; halo for extra size; princess/emerald for a modern look.
  • Setting metal: S925 sterling silver.
  • Certificate: Some styles include a GRA report documenting carat, color (D) and clarity (VVS).

Questions & answers

Are these real moissanite?

Many styles use lab-created moissanite (silicon carbide); some styles are listed as D-color and VVS clarity, and some include a GRA certificate.

Will moissanite studs pass for diamond?

Moissanite has a distinct appearance and throws more fire (rainbow flashes) than a diamond because its dispersion is higher.

What metal are the studs set in?

The studs are set in S925 sterling silver.

Do you have a no-piercing version?

Most styles are designed for pierced ears, and the collection also includes some magnetic styles. See our magnetic moissanite earrings for magnetic, non-piercing styles.

Will moissanite turn cloudy or yellow?

No. Moissanite is chemically stable; its color and clarity do not change with age or cleaning. Any dullness is surface oils and wipes off.
