Hand-Cut Moissanite Portuguese Cut Studs 14K Rose Gold 4.12 CTW

The Stone(s)

Each earring is centered around a 2.06 carat (7.75 x 7.75 x 5.03 MM) hand-cut moissanite stone, yielding a combined total weight of 4.12 CTW. These gemstones exhibit a highly saturated Cyan Blue fancy color tier with a VVS clarity profile. Rather than utilizing standard machine-cut blanks, our Surat lapidaries individually cut these stones using a traditional Portuguese faceting architecture. This specific geometry introduces 161 facets arranged in concentric rows of triangular and lozenge shapes. This dense multi-tiered alignment focuses the stone’s 2.69 refractive index, managing light dispersion to emphasize deep structural flash rather than random surface fire.

The Setting

The setting employs a specialized six-prong wire basket configuration cast in 14K rose gold. The six claw-tipped prongs are spaced at precise 60-degree intervals around the 7.75 MM girdle, ensuring uniform pressure distribution across the perimeter of the stone. This open-gallery architecture minimizes the underlying metal mass beneath the pavilion, allowing peripheral light entry to illuminate the lower pavilion facets. The structural height is calibrated at 5.03 MM to keep the high-crowned Portuguese cut close to the ear lobe, reducing forward tilt when worn.

Metals and Finish

Constructed using solid 14K rose gold (585 purity code), the alloy composition balances gold content with copper integration to provide structural stiffness for daily wear. The metal surfaces are completed with a mechanical high-polish finish to maximize reflectivity alongside the cyan blue gemstones. For alternative preferences, this design can be cast across all five of our standard metal tiers, including 10K gold for maximum scratch resistance, 18K gold for an altered alloy density, or 950 Platinum for an inert, hypoallergenic option.

Customisation and Origin

Every pair of earrings is manufactured to order based on your custom requirements. Following checkout confirmation, our workshop communicates directly via email and WhatsApp within 24 hours to verify specifications before casting. Buyers can alter the stone dimensions, select colorless D-E-F equivalent tiers, or adjust the post assembly. Production requires a stable window of 15–35 business days to complete the hand-faceting, setting alignment, and third-party laboratory verification. Crafted in Surat — the city that cuts 90% of the world’s diamonds — and shipped factory-direct.
