Dazzling stud earrings are a jewelry wardrobe essential. Smart and classy, they complement everything from casual outfits to dressy attire. These 5mm studs each showcase a fiery round Moissanite stone, held in a four-prong basket setting of polished 14 karat yellow gold. The near-colorless stones have a total weight equivalent to one carat and are expertly cut to maximize their optical performance. The stones are featured on 14 karat yellow gold posts with friction backings. About Moissanite
Moissanite by Charles & Colvard is a uniquely beautiful near-colorless jewel that outperforms diamonds in terms of brilliance, luster, and fire. Also known as silicon carbide, Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral found in limited quantities or as small particles in the earth. Large natural crystals are extremely rare, which prohibits their use in jewelry making. Recently, Charles & Colvard developed a method of duplicating this fiery jewel, using a patented thermal growing process. The process is very difficult and expensive, thus preventing mass production. Moissanite jewels are cut to very specific proportions designed to maximize their brilliance. Learn more about Moissanite.
