Pear Moissanite Stud Earrings in 925 Sterling Silver - Pair of 3 x 5 mm Two-Prong Cartilage Studs, Heart Backs, 6 or 8 mm Post
These stud earrings in 925 sterling silver each hold one 3 x 5 mm pear cut moissanite on a slim silver rail.
The rail runs along one side of the teardrop and ends in two small prongs, one at the rounded top and one at the point, so the other side of the stone is left completely open. The result is a light, airy stud that shows as much of the moissanite as possible. A polished heart-shaped back sits behind each one.
- Lab-grown moissanite: pear cut, 3 x 5 mm and 0.30 ct in each earring, D colour, VVS1 clarity.
- Side-rail setting: one silver rail with a prong at each end, open on the other side.
- 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.
- Material: 925 sterling silver
- Stone: lab-grown moissanite, 3 x 5 mm

Note: in the model photos several different earrings are worn in the same ear - this listing is for one pair of the pear cut studs.
A small gift for someone who likes one clear stone more than a cluster, and an easy partner for round studs in the same ear.

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.
What is your return policy for earrings?
60-day quality promise on every piece: if earrings arrive damaged, faulty or not as ordered, we replace or refund them and pay the shipping. You can cancel earrings, including jewellery sets that contain earrings, within 14 days of delivery under your statutory right to cancel. When trying them on, please do not put them through your ear piercing: that goes beyond what is needed to examine them, and the law allows us to reduce the refund by any loss in value this causes. For hygiene reasons, earrings are not returned or exchanged from day 15 to day 60. Full policy at /pages/return-exchange.
