Pave Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings - Sixteen 1.3 mm D Color Stones in Two Rows, 12 mm Hinged 925 Sterling Silver
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.
A small hoop that closes flush against the lobe, with two rows of moissanite running around the outer face. At 12 mm it hugs the ear instead of hanging from it, which is why a pair like this works for sleeping, workouts, and a second or third piercing.
Sixteen stones per pair, 1.3 mm each, D colour and VVS1. The double row is what separates this from a plain silver huggie - light hits the two lines at different angles as you turn your head.
- Sixteen moissanites: 1.3 mm rounds, 0.01 ct each, D colour / VVS1.
- Two-row pave: a double line of stones across the outer face.
- 12 mm hoop: sits close to the lobe, easy to stack with other piercings.

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.
