6-Prong Moissanite Solitaire Studs

Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone that rivals diamond in brilliance and fire, with a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond. It delivers the look of a diamond solitaire at a fraction of the cost, with no mining impact and no ethical compromise. For everyday studs you will actually wear, it is hard to beat.

0.1 to 0.3ct (3 to 4mm) is the subtlest option, perfect for stacking or second piercings. 0.5 to 0.8ct (5 to 6mm) gives an everyday shimmer, the quiet luxury choice. 1ct (6.5mm) is the most popular size, noticeably brilliant without feeling bold. 2ct (8mm) is a full statement. 3ct (9mm) is for occasions that deserve it.

Both use the same secure construction, but the number of prongs changes the look. Six prongs hold the stone in an open crown setting, distributing the hold evenly and allowing more light to enter from below for exceptional brilliance. Four prongs give a cleaner, more minimalist profile with the stone as the clear focal point.

Yes. Crafted in hypoallergenic, nickel-free and lead-free 925 sterling silver, these are safe for most sensitive ears.

The 925 sterling silver base will not tarnish at the core. The triple-layer plating maintains its finish with normal care. Avoid prolonged contact with perfume, chlorine, and lotions.

No. Moissanite maintains its brilliance for decades. Any dullness is surface buildup from oils or residue. A quick soak in warm, soapy water with a soft brush restores full sparkle.

Yes. Moissanite shows as "diamond" on most pen-style (thermal) testers because both conduct heat similarly. Advanced multi-mode testers used by jewelers can distinguish moissanite from natural diamond, which is expected. Moissanite is its own distinct gemstone.
