Why do shoppers love it?
Although a chemically-created gem, moissanite is not a lab-grown diamond despite its appearance. While lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and visually identical to real diamonds, and composed of pure carbon, moissanite are composed of silicone carbide and differ the most with the way they reflect light. Moissanite has a higher refractive index and stronger dispersion, which means it throws a rainbow-colored flash when light hits it, while lab-grown and natural diamonds reflect more of a white light.
Nevertheless, visually they look pretty similar, with moissanites being the far more budget-friendly choice. These studs feature one-carat of moissanite per earring, and are made with 18K white gold-plated copper. Although the earrings also come in 0.5 carat and 2 carat size options, the 1 carat offers the perfect size for shoppers who want a noticeable accessory that isn’t too big. Paired with the strength of copper and the shine of the 18K white gold plating (or 18K yellow gold plating depending on the color you choose), you have a sturdy, long-lasting accessory that looks stunning.

This specific style features round moissanite stones, but you can also opt for a different cut, like emerald, cushion, pear, or heart when it comes to the stones. For a timeless look, however, the round never fails. The earrings are waterproof and tarnish-resistant, and they have the traditional butterfly back closures which create a secure but comfortable fit on the ear.
