Hand-Cut Moissanite Octagon Solitaire Stud Earrings 14K Yellow Gold 2.53 CTW

The Stones

The center stones consist of two step-cut, octagonal hand-cut moissanite gemstones balancing a combined total weight of 2.53 carats. Unlike generic machine-cut inventory that often exhibits chaotic light dispersion, these stones are hand-faceted by cutters in our workshop to carefully regulate their 2.69 refractive index. This precise facet alignment produces structured, concentric light reflections instead of an unmanaged rainbow flash. Graded within the colorless to near-colorless EF range with VVS internal clarity, the geometric crown facets and sharp step arrangements remain clear to the naked eye under any lighting conditions.

The Setting

Engineered for symmetry and structural security, each stone is anchored inside an eight-prong wire basket setting cast in solid 14K yellow gold. The eight low-profile claws grip the octagonal corners and intermediate steps of the girdle, ensuring the gemstone remains safe from lateral impacts. The open architectural wire gallery features parallel vertical supports that expose the pavilion and culet of the stone. This high-profile clearance maximizes light entering from the sides, illuminating the internal step-cut facets without adding bulk to the overall ear profile.

Metals and Finish

Constructed from 585-purity 14K yellow gold, the mounting provides an ideal balance of gold purity and structural hardness, ensuring the prongs resist bending over years of daily wear. The metal surfaces are finished to a high-polish reflective sheen, which serves to intensify the crisp contrast against the colorless moissanite steps. The posts are calibrated to standard earlobe dimensions and utilize matching friction push-back butterfly closures that slide into dedicated retention grooves, holding the high-profile baskets securely upright against the ear.

Customisation and Origin

Every pair is built using our direct custom manufacturing path. Upon checkout, our production team contacts you via WhatsApp or email within 24 hours to verify your specific configuration details.
