Quick answer: FITINY moissanite stud earrings are D-color, VVS-clarity lab-created moissanite set in S925 sterling silver (or surgical steel), in round, halo, princess and emerald cuts. Each pair ships with a GRA certificate and gives a diamond-look sparkle — more fire than a diamond — at a fraction of the price.

What makes a good moissanite stud?
- Color: D-color — the top, fully colorless grade on the GIA D–Z scale (ice-white, no tint).
- Clarity: 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 (hypoallergenic for most wearers) or surgical stainless steel.
- Certificate: a GRA report documenting carat, color (D) and clarity (VVS).

Styling & everyday wear
Solitaire studs suit work and daily wear; halo studs read larger for evenings and gifts. Moissanite is colour-stable and will not yellow, and at Mohs ~9.25 it stands up to daily wear. Browse the wider moissanite earrings collection for drops, hoops and huggies.
Questions & answers
Are these real moissanite?
Yes. Every stud uses lab-created moissanite (silicon carbide), graded D-color and VVS clarity, and ships with a GRA certificate documenting the stone.
Will moissanite studs pass for diamond?
To the naked eye, yes — D-color VVS moissanite is colorless and eye-clean. It actually throws more fire (rainbow flashes) than a diamond because its dispersion is higher.
What metal are the studs set in?
S925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver, hypoallergenic for most wearers) or surgical stainless steel, depending on the style.
Do you have a no-piercing version?
Yes — see our magnetic moissanite earrings, which give the same diamond-look stud with a magnetic, non-piercing back.
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.
