A princess cut is a square stone with pointed corners and a brilliant facet pattern, which is what separates it from an emerald cut, where the facets are cut in long steps and the corners are trimmed flat, and from an asscher cut, which is square with stepped facets. Set on point means the square is rotated so a corner points up rather than an edge sitting level. Best for: sensitive ears, everyday wear, someone who already owns round studs and wants a different outline, wearing to work and to occasions without changing, and gifting. Gift occasions: birthday, anniversary, wedding, graduation, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, milestone gift, just because. About the product A pair of studs, each holding a single square princess cut moissanite. The square is turned on its point and held at each corner, so the facets stay open and the whole face of the stone catches light as you move. Because it is set this way, each stud spans about 8.5mm corner to corner rather than the 5mm the stone measures across, so it covers more of the lobe than the stone size alone suggests. The metal is a layer of solid 14K gold, at least 5% of the total weight, bonded to a 925 sterling silver core and stamped 1/20 14K GF 925, so the post in the piercing and every surface touching the ear is gold over sterling. A push back with a wide flat disc holds each stud in place and is easy to handle. The pair weighs about 1.8g. A GRA report is included. Q: Why choose these studs? A: They use D color VVS1 moissanite cut to Excellent grade, which gives real fire, the flashes of colored light you see as the stone moves. Moissanite rates 9.25 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, just below diamond at 10, so it stands up to being worn daily for years. The princess cut is the main reason to choose this pair: straight edges, sharp corners and a square face that reads differently on the ear. Q: What does set on point mean? A: The square stone is rotated 45 degrees in its setting, so a corner points up toward the top of the ear instead of a flat edge sitting level. A curved arm carries the post to that corner. The practical effect is reach: the distance across the diagonal of a square is longer than the distance across its side, so a 5mm square worn on its point spans about 8.5mm. Q: What do the four corner prongs do? A: They hold the stone at its four corners, which are the points most in need of protection on a princess cut, and leave the four straight sides completely open. That keeps the outline of the square visible and lets light reach the stone from the sides rather than only the top. Q: Are these for women or men? A: Both. A square stud is a genuinely unisex shape and men buy them at this size, sometimes a single stud rather than the pair. The setting, the metal and the stone are identical whoever wears them. Q: What does 14K gold filled mean? A: A layer of solid 14K gold is bonded to a core metal under heat and pressure, and the piece has to be at least one twentieth gold by weight before it can be called gold filled at all. On these studs the core is 925 sterling silver and each is stamped 1/20 14K GF 925. The gold you see and touch is genuine 14K gold, and the warm yellow color comes from the gold itself. Q: What is the difference between gold filled, gold plated, vermeil and solid gold? A: They differ in how much gold is on the piece and how it is attached, and they are not all measured the same way. Solid 14K gold is 58.3% gold the whole way through. Gold filled, which is what these studs are, bonds a layer of solid 14K gold to a core metal under heat and pressure, and US standards require that layer to be at least one twentieth of the item's metal weight, which is why they carry the 1/20 14K GF 925 stamp. Vermeil is sterling silver plated with gold of at least 10 karat, measured by thickness at a minimum of 2.5 microns. Gold plated applies a gold layer over a base metal, and the thickness varies by maker. Q: Are they safe for sensitive ears? A: Yes, and this is the reason many people choose gold filled for studs specifically. The post that passes through the piercing and everything resting against your ear is 14K gold over a 925 sterling silver core, and the earrings are nickel-free and lead-free. Nickel is the metal behind most jewelry reactions, which is why these stay wearable for people who cannot keep costume studs in for more than an hour. Q: How does a push back work and will they stay on? A: A push back is the small friction back that slides onto the post and grips it. These use a wide flat disc, which gives you more to hold while you line the post up and sits broad against the lobe. Push it on until it sits snug without pinching. Friction backs loosen gradually with use, so check them now and then, and if one ever feels loose replace the back rather than the pair. Q: Can I sleep in them? A: You can. A stud sits close to the lobe with nothing to dangle or catch, which makes it the easiest style to keep in. If you prefer a screw back style, we offer customization - email hello@sensitivestones.com. Q: Will the gold wear or fade? A: With normal everyday wear, no. The gold is a solid bonded layer, so the color comes from the gold itself and holds through years of wear. Put them in after perfume, hairspray and sunscreen rather than before, since those are what dull gold fastest, take them out before swimming, and keep them away from chlorine and harsh chemicals. Q: Will the moissanite lose its sparkle or turn cloudy? A: No. Moissanite does not cloud or dull with age. If a stud starts to look flat, that is a film of hairspray, skin oil or shampoo on the stone, and most of it collects underneath where you cannot see it. Clean them in lukewarm soapy water with a soft brush worked around and under the setting, then rinse and pat dry. Q: Will they pass a diamond tester? A: Yes. Moissanite reads as diamond on the standard pen-style testers because it conducts heat in much the same way a diamond does. A jeweler's combined moissanite and diamond tester will correctly identify it as moissanite, which is exactly what you would expect. A GRA report is included with your pair. Q: How should I store them? A: Keep the backs on the posts so they do not go missing, and store the pair in its pouch apart from other jewelry so nothing knocks the corner prongs. Wipe them with a soft cloth after wear. Carat weights are approximate diamond equivalent weights (DEW) and listed per earring.
