Marquise Crown Cluster Moissanite Stud Earrings

A good stud earring should disappear into your daily routine and still turn heads. These marquise crown cluster moissanite stud earrings do exactly that, with a colorless moissanite center stone and a secure post for all day comfort.

A fan of three marquise moissanite stones forms a crown shaped cluster that looks delicate from the front and lively from the side. Three marquise moissanite stones fan out like a small crown, with the tall center stone flanked by a stone on each side. The two flanking stones are accent stones and are not counted in the carat weight of each option.

Stone and carat size

The center stone of each earring is a colorless moissanite, cut as a marquise. A marquise cut has a long, pointed, boat shaped outline that makes the stone look larger. 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. Halo and accent stones are not included in the carat figure. 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.

They also make a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, bridesmaids and holidays, and the gift is easy to choose because the stone, metal and closure are all your choice.

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 marquise cut?
A marquise cut has a long, pointed, boat shaped outline that makes the stone look larger. 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.
