Each round moissanite is wrapped in a smooth silver bezel, with no prongs to snag on hair or sweaters. Held between two fingers in the photo, you can see how clean and flat they sit, easy to wear with scarves, hoods and headsets.

Why it's special
The 1.0 ct DEW moissanite is lab-grown, with D color, VVS1 clarity and a GRA report in the box. A 9.25 on the Mohs scale means it handles daily life, and it shows more colored fire than a diamond.
Care
Hand-polished and nickel-free. Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and chlorinated water. Wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store in the jewelry box it ships in.
Why moissanite outshines diamond
Same chemistry as a lab-grown gem. Higher brilliance, more fire, 95% less to own.
| Moissanite | Diamond | |
|---|---|---|
| Brilliance (refractive index) | 2.65 | 2.42 |
| Fire (dispersion) | 0.104 | 0.044 |
| Hardness (Mohs scale) | 9.25 | 10 |
| Price for 1ct equivalent | $59 – $200 | $2,000 – $10,000 |
Higher numbers in the first two rows mean more sparkle. Moissanite literally throws more light than diamond. That's not opinion, it's optics.
Every stone is GRA-certified
Every moissanite ships with its GRA certificate stating cut, clarity, color and carat. Documented, not just promised.

D colour VVS1 clarity 9.25 Mohs GRA certified
What these grades mean
- Colour D
- The top of the colourless scale (D–E–F): no yellow or grey cast next to a white metal.
- Clarity VVS1
- Inclusions are invisible to the naked eye and hard to find even at 10× magnification.
- Fire 0.104
- Moissanite splits light about 2.4× more than a diamond (0.044). That is the rainbow flash you see when you move your hand.
- Brilliance 2.65–2.69
- Its refractive index beats a diamond's 2.42, so more light comes back to your eye.
- Hardness 9.25 Mohs
- Second only to diamond (10). It takes daily wear without scratching or clouding.
- Carat weight = DEW
- Weight is quoted as diamond equivalent weight: a 1.0 ct DEW stone measures 6.5 mm, the same face-up size as a one-carat diamond. Moissanite is about 10% lighter, so its own weight is nearer 0.88 ct. We print the millimetres on every option so you know the real size.
- Lab-grown, certified
- Silicon carbide grown in a lab, cut and graded by GRA. The report card ships in the box with the piece.
Moissanite is its own gemstone, not a diamond and not cubic zirconia. It is harder and brighter than CZ, and it does not cloud over time.
Earring size & fit
How stone sizes look on the ear, which closures we use, and how to wear earrings comfortably all day.
Stone size on the ear
| Stone | Diameter | How it reads |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 Ct | ≈ 5.2 mm | Subtle everyday sparkle |
| 1.0 Ct | ≈ 6.5 mm | Noticeable, the classic stud size |
| 2.0 Ct | ≈ 8.2 mm | Statement, catches light across the room |
For hoops and huggies: 10–14 mm hugs the earlobe, 15–25 mm is a classic hoop, 30 mm+ is a statement. The diameter is listed on each product page.
Closure types
- Friction push back: the classic stud closure: slides on, holds firmly, easy on and off.
- Screw back: twists onto a threaded post; the most secure option, great for sleeping in or for valuable stones.
- Hinged huggie latch: clicks shut around the lobe; no separate back to lose.
- Lever / English back. For drop earrings, the lever locks behind the lobe and keeps the earring hanging straight.
Comfort & care
- Hypoallergenic by default. All our posts are 925 sterling silver, rhodium-plated and nickel-free, safe for sensitive ears.
- Weight matters. Under ~2 g per earring feels weightless all day; heavier drops are best for occasions.
- Keep the sparkle. Take earrings off before showering and sleeping, wipe with a soft cloth after wear.
