Hand-Cut Moissanite Emerald Solitaire Leverback Earrings | 3.60 CTW

The Stones

The center architecture of each earring is anchored by a matching 1.80 carat emerald-cut moissanite, providing a combined weight of 3.60 CTW. Measuring 8.00 x 6.00 x 4.32 mm, these stones are hand-cut by specialized lapidaries to an EF colorless grading and VVS clarity framework. The step-cut faceting generates long, parallel internal planes that highlight the stone’s structural depth. By applying hand-faceting methods rather than standard automated cutting, the crown and pavilion angles are calibrated to govern moissanite’s 2.69 refractive index, eliminating the over-saturated dispersion pattern common in machine-manufactured alternatives.

The Setting

Each emerald-cut stone is anchored by four traditional prongs that secure the corners of the rectilinear geometry without impeding light paths. The gallery uses an open-basket wire configuration, intentionally exposing the pavilion and girdle facets to maximize lateral and rear light entering the pavilion. The low-slung basket is integrated directly into the vertical drop wire of the closure mechanism. The hinged mechanical lever-back configuration provides an uninterrupted loop behind the lobe, utilizing a spring-activated rear latch that snaps firmly against the ear wire to prevent accidental release.

Metals and Finish

Fabricated with a baseline specification of 14K white gold (585 purity), these earrings deliver a gross weight of 4.22 grams, containing a net metal mass of 3.50 grams. The white gold alloy is finished with an exterior rhodium plating to achieve a neutral specular reflection that preserves the colorless body tone of the EF stones. For structural customization, this silhouette is also manufactured in 18K gold (750) for a denser fine-metal composition, 10K gold (417) for enhanced mechanical scratch resistance, 950 platinum for a naturally hypoallergenic, non-tarnishing build, or 925 sterling silver for a lighter daily option.

Customisation and Origin

Every pair is produced as a distinct made-to-order assignment. Within 24 hours of checkout, our workshop initiates a technical confirmation via WhatsApp and email, allowing you to alter stone dimensions, shift to specific carat tiers, or select alternative rose or yellow gold metal tones. Standard workshop production requires 15–35 business days to execute structural casting, setting, and final high-polish finishing. For Indian orders, these earrings align with regional styling preferences for secure daily-wear drops. Crafted in Surat — the city that cuts 90% of the world’s diamonds — and shipped factory-direct.
