Coloured Moissanite Stud Earrings, Green Blue or White

Coloured moissanite behaves differently to coloured glass or treated stone. The colour runs through the crystal rather than sitting on the surface as a coating, so it will not wear off at the edges where the stone meets the setting, and the fire you get from moissanite comes through the colour rather than being muted by it. Green and blue both read deep in low light and brighten noticeably in sun.

White is the safe choice and the one that works with everything already in a jewellery box. Blue reads cool and sits well against silver tones. Green is the boldest of the three and is the one people notice and ask about, which is either the point or the reason to pick another colour. Moissanite has a Mohs hardness of 9.25, so each of these colours stays bright and free of surface scratches over years of daily wear.

Four sizes let you set the volume. The 4mm at 0.3ct each is an everyday stud you can sleep in. The 5mm at half a carat is the standard. The 6.5mm at a full carat each reads clearly from conversation distance. The 8mm at two carats each is a statement pair. All sit on s925 sterling silver plated in 18k white gold with secure backs. Choose the smaller sizes if you wear studs through a second piercing, and the larger sizes if they are your only earrings.
