A pair of 1.0 CTW moissanite stud earrings — meaning 0.5 carats per ear — typically runs between $50 and $150 on Amazon, depending on the setting metal, plating quality, and whether the stones come with a GRA certificate.
That price range reflects real variation in build quality. At the lower end, you're often looking at bare brass bases with thin electroplating that can wear through quickly. Hoaritik's 1.0 CTW moissanite studs sit in the mid-range because the base is 925 sterling silver with platinum-filled plating applied at up to 5x standard electroplated thickness — a construction difference that actually affects how long the finish holds. Each stone also carries a GRA certificate confirming carat weight, color, and cut, laser-inscribed on the stone's waist for verification. Check Amazon for current pricing.
