Pear-shaped moissanite stud earrings in a two-tone setting - premium white metal for the stone setting, 14K yellow gold over sterling silver for the frame - creates studs where the cut choice and the metal combination both make considered design statements. The pear shape in a stud earring positions the teardrop form upright at the ear, the pointed base creating a subtle downward visual direction that elongates the ear slightly. The moissanite's fire makes the half-carat DEW stones appear larger and more active than cubic zirconia equivalents. The two-tone setting provides the warm-and-cool metal contrast that keeps the earring compatible with any jewelry wardrobe.
