Why it's special
Studs are the one piece of jewelry that almost everyone wears daily. We use GRA-certified moissanite to give you diamond-level sparkle at a price that makes daily wear feel reasonable.
Care
Hand-polished and tarnish-resistant. 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 shipment includes an independent GRA lab certificate verifying cut, clarity, color, and carat. No claims — documented proof.

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.
