18k Gold:

18k gold exudes a luxurious, radiant shine, crafted from 75% pure gold blended with other metals for added strength and durability. With its higher gold content, it offers a richer hue and an elevated level of sophistication, making it a timeless choice for fine jewelry. Perfect for both everyday elegance and special occasions, 18k gold balances beauty, purity, and resilience for lasting wear.

925 Sterling Silver:

925 sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver mixed with other metals to enhance its strength and durability. This combination ensures a bright, reflective finish and makes it a reliable choice for elegant and enduring jewellery pieces.

Moissanite:

Moissanite shares a crystalline structure with diamonds, both being carbon-based, though moissanite is composed of silicon carbide (SiC). This composition contributes to its exceptional brilliance and fire, often reflecting light even more beautifully than diamonds. With a high refractive index and a hardness just below diamonds on the Mohs scale, moissanite is incredibly durable, making it an appealing and ethical alternative that captures the essence of diamonds.

FAQs

Moissanite is a gemstone composed of silicon carbide (SiC), a rare, naturally occurring mineral that is now synthesized in labs for jewelry. Chemically, moissanite is distinct from diamonds, which are composed entirely of carbon (C) atoms arranged in a crystalline structure. Despite these differences, moissanite closely resembles diamonds in appearance but exhibits unique properties, such as a higher refractive index, giving it more brilliance and fire. It's also nearly as hard as diamonds (9.25 on the Mohs scale compared to a diamond's 10), making it highly durable. Moissanite offers an eco-friendly and affordable alternative to traditional diamonds without compromising beauty or resilience.

We recommend avoiding showering with your earrings. While they’re made from high-quality materials, exposure to water, soap, and shampoo can cause buildup around the stones and settings, which may dull their sparkle over time. Even solid gold and diamond earrings are best removed before showering, as product residue can reduce their shine and clarity.

Our Lyra Moissanite Studs are crafted from sterling silver, a durable and premium metal that allows for secure prong settings and a refined finish. Each pair is plated with 18k gold to achieve a luxurious look while remaining accessible. While some tarnish-free jewellery is made from stainless steel, it lacks the delicacy and quality required for fine moissanite settings.

A solid gold version would eliminate any concerns around tarnish or water exposure but would increase the cost substantially. Our goal is to offer a more attainable alternative to traditional fine jewellery—without compromising on elegance or quality.

With proper care and by avoiding water exposure, your earrings will retain their brilliance and beauty for years to come. For solid gold custom orders, please get in touch to discuss your options.

The Lyra Moissanite Stud Earrings are designed to offer everyday elegance with the quality and brilliance of fine jewellery—at a more accessible price. Each pair features premium-grade, uncoated moissanite stones with exceptional fire, set in a classic 4-prong setting that allows light to pass through beautifully.

What sets them apart is the secure screw-back with a dome-style end—providing both peace of mind and comfort for long wear. The earrings are crafted from 925 sterling silver, known for its strength and precision, and plated in 18k gold for a luminous, high-end finish.

We’ve carefully selected every component to ensure lasting shine, proper balance, and timeless appeal—making these studs a standout choice for those who want fine jewellery that feels as good as it looks.
