Celtic Love Knot Heart Stud Earrings - Eighteen D Colour Moissanites in 925 Sterling Silver, 9 x 10 mm
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.
Bands of silver interlace over and under each other and close into a heart. A Celtic knot has no start and no end, which is most of the reason people give one. The strands stay rounded and polished, so the outline reads as a heart from across a room and as a knot up close.
Nine moissanites sit along the two crossing bands at the center of each stud, eighteen across the pair. Each is 1.10 mm and 0.006 ct, D colour and VVS1 clarity, brilliant cut and bead set flush into the silver so nothing snags on a sweater.

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 suitable for an engagement ring?
Yes. With Mohs 9.25 hardness, moissanite is the second-hardest known gemstone after diamond, making it an excellent choice for daily-wear engagement and wedding rings.
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 ring?
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.
