1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Drop Earrings

Moissanite is the stone people choose when they want the fire of a diamond without the diamond conversation. It throws a lot of light for its size, and at one carat it reads clearly across a room while still sitting comfortably on the ear all evening. These drops pair that stone with 925 sterling silver, which is the setting that keeps the focus on the stone rather than the metal around it.

You receive one pair, and they arrive in a matching box, so this works as a gift with no extra wrapping required. Because the carat weight sits above 0.3 carats, the earrings also include a certificate of stone properties. That certificate is the part most people appreciate later, since it documents exactly what you bought rather than leaving you to take anyone's word for it. The material is 925 sterling silver and moissanite, and the carat weight is 1ct.

These are drops rather than studs, which means they move as you do and catch light at every angle. The actual length is 0.8 in, so they hang just below the lobe and stay well clear of a collar. That length is the reason they work as easily with a plain white shirt on a Wednesday as they do with something formal on a Saturday. Wear them with your hair up if you want them seen, or let them peek through a loose blow dry for something quieter. Sterling silver asks for a little attention over the years, so please read the care note below before you wear them anywhere strenuous.
