Lab-created white sapphire J-hoop earrings in warm 18K yellow gold over brass offer a colored stone alternative to the standard cubic zirconia hoop. Lab-created white sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale - second only to diamond - giving these earrings genuine durability alongside the bright, clean sparkle of a white stone. The J-hoop silhouette - named for the gentle curve of the hook shape - creates an earring with more movement and visual presence than a stud while sitting closer to the ear than a full drop. At 1.62 carats of round lab-created white sapphire in a warm gold setting, this earring delivers a clean everyday glow for the customer who wants sapphire quality at an accessible price.
