Pear Moissanite Huggie Hoop Earrings in 925 Sterling Silver - 12 mm Small Hoops with a 3 x 6 mm Pear Cut Stone and Cubic Zirconia Row, Gift for Her
These huggie hoop earrings in 925 sterling silver each carry a pear cut moissanite at the front, above a row of small cubic zirconia.
The pear sits point-up in three prongs right where the hoop meets the lobe, so from the front it looks like a teardrop stud with a line of light trailing below it. The hoop itself is 12 mm - small enough to hug the ear - and closes with a hinged post that clicks into the back of the hoop.
- Lab-grown moissanite: pear cut, 3 x 6 mm (0.30 ct each), D color, VVS1 clarity.
- Cubic zirconia row: the small round stones down the front of each hoop are cubic zirconia, not moissanite.
- Small huggie hoop: 12 mm, with a hinged closure and no separate back to lose.
- Sold as a pair: two matching hoops.
- Material: 925 sterling silver

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 durable enough for everyday wear?
Yes. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is the second-hardest known gemstone after diamond, so it resists scratches and keeps its sparkle through daily wear.
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 jewelry?
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.
