What the earrings are and who they suit

These stud earrings hold two round brilliant cut moissanite gemstones, each 4.0mm across, set in rhodium-plated 14K white gold with a three-prong mount. Total Diamond Equivalent Weight is 0.46cttw and actual gem weight is 0.43cttw. They arrive in a gift box and carry a gemstone lifetime guarantee. The pair suits adults who want the look of fine jewellery without the cost of diamond.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

Moissanite scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest minerals available for daily wear. The gemstones resist scratching and retain their brilliance through routine activity. No batteries, cooling or power are involved, so there is no heat, noise or energy consumption to consider.

Build quality and daily wear implications

The 14K white gold posts are finished with rhodium plating for a bright, tarnish-resistant surface. A three-prong setting secures each 4.0mm stone while keeping the profile low against the ear. The earrings are not resizable or adjustable, so fit is fixed. Buyers who need screw-back fastenings or a different metal colour will need another option.

Questions about this item

How do I put on the 14K white gold 4.0mm moissanite studs without bending the post?

Hold the earring by the front setting, align the straight post with the piercing, and push straight through until the friction back clicks — twisting the post sideways is the step that bends it.

Will the rhodium plating on the 14K white gold setting wear off and need replating?

Rhodium plating on 14K white gold naturally thins with daily wear; expect to have a jeweller replate the setting every one to two years to keep the bright white finish.

At what point does the 9.25 Mohs moissanite show surface abrasion from daily wear?

Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs scale, so only materials as hard or harder — such as diamond dust or corundum — can scratch the 4.0mm facets under sustained contact.
