5mm Princess-Cut Solitaire Moissanite Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver

One square princess-cut stone per ear, held in a four-prong basket with a claw folded over each corner — the corners are the most vulnerable part of a princess cut, so that is exactly where the metal goes. The basket is cut open underneath, letting light in from below so the stone stays bright through the middle instead of going grey. A flat table and sharp edges give a harder, more geometric flash than a round brilliant of the same width. Push-back posts. Design: Princess-cut solitaire in a four-prong basket Stone: Princess-cut moissanite, 0.8 ct per ear (1.6 ct total) Size: 5 × 5 mm Metal: Solid 925 sterling silver Finish: Bright rhodium-plated silver or yellow gold vermeil Back: Push-back post Sold as: One pair A square stud reads sharper than a round one at the same width, so this is the pair to reach for if you already own a round solitaire and want a second that does not repeat it.
