Moissanite and high-clarity cubic zirconia set in 925 sterling silver and 18K gold plating. These are simulated stones, not mined or lab-grown diamonds, and they are priced accordingly: a solitaire pendant here costs less than a restaurant dinner and still throws the same light across a room.

Moissanite is a silicon carbide crystal. It is harder than almost anything else you will wear day to day, it does not cloud, and it refracts more light than diamond does, which is why it reads brighter under warm indoor lighting. The settings are the classic ones: four and six prongs, emerald cuts, a continuous tennis line.

Start with the solitaire pendant or the 1ct studs if you want one piece that goes with everything. The tennis bracelet is the layering piece, and the snowflake pendant is the one people ask about.

Every piece ships worldwide with tracking, typically 8-16 business days from order to doorstep, and arrives ready to give.
