The setting is 925 sterling silver, and a thin layer of 14K gold on top supplies the color you see. \u003cstrong\u003eYou get colorless stones in a 14K gold-finished setting while the metal underneath stays silver\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the white version passes for white gold at any distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stones themselves are created moissanite, grown silicon carbide that ranks 9.25 for hardness, just under diamond.

Store the pair in its own soft pouch so harder stones cannot scratch the finish. A dry jewelry cloth brings back the shine; skip silver dips and abrasive polish, which can strip a gold overlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDEF Moissanite Studs Day to Day\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these solid gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Under the 14K gold overlay, in white or yellow, the base metal is 925 sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does DEF color mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e D, E and F are the colorless grades.
