Prélude Moissanite Studs

925 sterling silver, solid all the way through, set with brilliant-cut moissanite: more fire than a same-size diamond and a hardness just beneath it. Every Amaurine piece names its metal and its stone on its own page, in the same words as our published standards. Our article on how moissanite compares with diamond sets out fire, hardness and price.

Sterling darkens with air over time; that is expected and reversible. A proper silver polishing cloth restores it in seconds, and the moissanite takes warm soapy water and a soft brush, because it is hard enough to. Store it in its pouch, away from bathrooms and windowsills, and it stays bright between wears.

The Prélude Moissanite Studs are solid 925 sterling silver, the metal most sensitive ears are happiest in. Put them in clean and dry, take them out before you sleep, and keep perfume and hairspray off them. If a particular metal troubles you, write to hello@amaurine.com before you order and we will confirm the components. Our guide to earrings for sensitive ears covers what to look for.

Four habits: last on, first off; keep it dry, so off before the shower, the pool and the gym; a soft cloth after wearing; and its own pouch between wears. Sterling that has darkened comes back with a silver polishing cloth; moissanite with warm soapy water and a soft brush. The full routine is on our care page.
