Classic Princess Moissanite Stud Earrings for Women

Looking for a pair of studs that you can wear every day and still feel dressed up? These classic princess moissanite stud earrings for women are made around a colorless moissanite center stone, set in your choice of 925 sterling silver, 10K, 14K or 18K gold.

These solitaire studs keep the design simple on purpose. One princess moissanite per ear, a slim basket, a straight post and nothing else to get in the way. A classic four prong basket holds each stone securely while leaving most of the surface open to light, which keeps the look clean and the sparkle high.

Stone and carat size

The center stone of each earring is a colorless moissanite, cut as a princess. A princess cut is a square stone with sharp corners and bright faceting. How the carat options work: the carat in each option is the center stone of each earring, and the pair total is shown in brackets, for example 1 CT + 1 CT = 2 TCW. TCW stands for total carat weight of the pair. The carat figure refers to the center stone only. Every listing is for a pair, so you receive both earrings.

Metals and closures

Choose from 925 sterling silver, 10K, 14K or 18K gold, and pick yellow, rose or white gold when you go with gold. Yellow, rose and white gold of the same karat are priced the same, and so are the push back and screw back closures. Push back is the standard friction closure and is easy to put on. Screw back threads onto the post for a firmer hold, which many people prefer for larger stones, for travel or for active days.

About the moissanite

Moissanite is a lab created gemstone known for its fire and brilliance. The stones used here are colorless, graded in the D to F range, with VVS clarity and an excellent cut. On the Mohs scale moissanite scores 9.25, which makes it one of the hardest gemstones after diamond, so it stands up to daily wear.

If you are buying for someone else, these work well for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentines Day and Christmas, and a push back closure is a safe pick if you are unsure.

Frequently asked questions

Are these earrings sold as a pair?
Yes. Every option on this page is for a pair, so you receive both earrings.

What does the carat in each option mean?
The carat in each option is the center stone of each earring. The pair total is shown in brackets, for example 1 CT + 1 CT = 2 TCW. Halo or accent stones are not included in the carat figure.

Which closure should I choose, push back or screw back?
Both are the same price. Push back is quick and comfortable for daily wear. Screw back gives a more secure hold, which is a good choice for bigger stones and active days.

What should I know about the princess cut?
A princess cut is a square stone with sharp corners and bright faceting. The center stone of this pair is cut in that shape.

Is moissanite the same as a diamond?
No. Moissanite is its own gemstone. It is colorless, very hard and highly brilliant, and it costs far less than a mined diamond of the same size.
