Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings - 12 mm Beaded Pave Huggies in 925 Sterling Silver, 14 D Color Stones
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 row of moissanite runs the front of each hoop with a line of silver beading on either side, so the stones sit in a channel rather than on a flat face. At 12 mm across, the hoop hugs the lobe closely enough to wear under a helix or a second stud without the two colliding.
Fourteen stones across the pair, 0.017 ct each, D color. The hinge snaps shut behind the lobe and the pair weighs 1.5 g, light enough to sleep in if you forget to take them out.
- 14 D color moissanites: 0.017 ct each, pave set along the front of both hoops.
- Beaded edges: two rows of polished silver beading frame the stones.
- 12 mm huggie: hinged snap closure, sits close to the lobe for stacking.

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.
