These stud earrings set a round brilliant-cut black moissanite into a four-prong solitaire mount made from metal marked 925 sterling silver. The black stone reads very differently from a clear one: instead of throwing fire, it holds a deep mirror-black surface with sharp facet edges, which is why this version tends to appeal to men and to anyone who wants a stud that reads graphic rather than sparkly. Four stone sizes are available, from 0.5 carat at 5 mm through 0.8 carat at 6 mm and 1 carat at 6.5 mm up to 2 carats at 8 mm, and each size is offered with a silver-tone or gold-tone mount. The earrings are sold as a matched pair and fasten with push backs. Moissanite is a silicon carbide crystal that sits at 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, so the facet edges stay crisp through daily wear rather than rounding off the way softer black glass or resin stones do.
