The 3-Carat-Look Diamond Edit

3 ct cubic zirconia earrings are stud earrings set with cubic zirconia in a 3-carat-look size, a bold, statement scale on the ear.

At Satéur, our 3-carat-look diamond studs start at $88 — roughly 1% of the price of a comparable mined-diamond pair. A 3 ct round stud measures about 9mm per stone, a confident, statement size, and we build that look in a stone that outlasts cubic zirconia.

Each pair is hand-set in nickel-free 925 sterling silver, finished in 18k gold — an 18k gold finish, not solid gold — so the price stays accessible and the posts stay gentle on sensitive ears, with no nickel and no green marks.

The difference at this size matters. Cubic zirconia rates about 8.5 on the Mohs scale and tends to cloud, scratch and dull — and at 3 carats, any haze shows. The moissanite in our studs rates 9.25 Mohs with a higher refractive index (~2.65), returning more fire than a diamond and keeping it for life. Graded Color D–E, Cut Excellent, it reads flawless to the naked eye, across the table.

Choose round, cushion and princess 3-carat-look studs in white or yellow gold tone. Confirm whether you want the carat look measured total or per stone before you buy, and pair them back to a matching pendant for a full set.

Questions

3 Ct Cubic Zirconia Earrings, answered.

What are 3 ct cubic zirconia earrings?+

They're stud earrings sized to a 3-carat look and set with cubic zirconia. At Satéur we rank for the term but build the look in moissanite — graded D–E colour, set in nickel-free 925 sterling silver with an 18k gold finish, from $88.

How big do 3 carat CZ studs look on the ear?+

A 3 ct round stud measures roughly 9mm per stone — a bold, statement size that's clearly visible across a room without overwhelming the ear.

Is moissanite better than cubic zirconia at 3 carats?+

Yes — and it matters more at this size. CZ rates ~8.5 Mohs and can cloud, which shows on a large stone; moissanite rates 9.25 and returns more fire for life. Our studs use moissanite.

Does cubic zirconia cloud or lose sparkle over time?+

Cubic zirconia can cloud, scratch and dull within months to a few years. Moissanite holds its brilliance for a lifetime, backed by the Satéur lifetime guarantee.

How much do 3 ct cubic zirconia earrings cost?+

Satéur's 3-carat-look studs start from $88 a pair — roughly 1% of a comparable mined-diamond pair. Each arrives in the signature Satéur box.

What's the best diamond alternative for big studs?+

Moissanite. At larger sizes its hardness (9.25 Mohs) and fire stand out, while cubic zirconia is more likely to cloud. Satéur builds every stud in moissanite, graded D–E colour.
