Marquise Moissanite Leaf Stud Earrings in 925 Sterling Silver - Pair of Cartilage Studs, Three Marquise Stones Each, Heart Backs, 6 or 8 mm Post
Every gemstone, crystal, and agate we use is nature's own masterpiece, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. We take pride in delivering a pristine IfShe creation that belongs exclusively to you.
These stud earrings in 925 sterling silver each fan three marquise cut moissanite stones into a small leaf spray.
A marquise is the long, pointed oval sometimes called a navette. Three of them are set at different angles on each earring, each caught at its tips by rounded prongs, so the cluster looks like a sprig of leaves rather than a row. At 5 x 8.5 mm each one is a little larger than a plain stud and works well as the focal point of an ear stack.
- Three lab-grown moissanite stones in each earring: marquise cut, D colour, VVS1 clarity, 2 x 4 mm each.
- Leaf cluster: each earring is 5 x 8.5 mm overall.
- Two post lengths: 6 mm or 8 mm - choose from the Size option on this page. 8 mm suits most earlobes; 6 mm sits closer on thinner cartilage such as the helix or tragus.
- Sold as a pair: two matching studs, each with its own heart-shaped back.

Frequently asked questions
How is moissanite different from a diamond?
Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, giving it more rainbow fire. It measures 9.25 on the Mohs scale (vs diamond's 10) and costs a fraction of the price for an equivalent visual size. It is a lab-created gem chemically distinct from diamond.
Will moissanite cloud or fade over time?
No. Moissanite does not cloud, yellow, or lose brilliance. Its sparkle is permanent and does not require special restoration over the years.
Is moissanite durable enough for everyday wear?
Yes. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is the second-hardest known gemstone after diamond, so it resists scratches and keeps its sparkle through daily wear.
What setting metal do you offer?
Most moissanite styles are available in 925 sterling silver. Selected designs offer 10K or 14K gold/rose-gold plating. See the variant options on each product page.
How do I clean my moissanite jewellery?
Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, gently brush with a soft toothbrush, and rinse. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
