Up close, the stone does most of the work: a round moissanite set in claws that let light move across its facets from every angle. The stud measures 7.5mm (0.30 in) and is set on 925 sterling silver, offered in a silver finish or a gold-plated finish. The claws hold the stone in place, and the back is a screw fitting, so the earring stays secure once it is tightened. A GRA certificate comes with the piece. The style is unisex, so it suits anyone who wants a small, clean stud. Good to know: sterling silver is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin, but the gold option is a plated finish that can wear over time with friction and sweat. Keep it away from perfume and chlorine and wipe it after wear to make the finish last longer. A small stone with a clean setting, built to be looked at closely.
