What’s the Best Metal for Moissanite Jewelry?

Moissanite delivers incredible brilliance – but what holds it matters just as much. The metal you choose affects not only the look of your jewelry, but also how it wears, lasts, and feels day to day.

At Sparkl365, we’ve tested countless combinations – and landed on what we believe is the perfect blend of beauty, ethics, and durability: recycled sterling silver with boutique-grade anti-tarnish coating.

Here’s why your setting matters – and why we use what we do.

1. Understanding the Options:

Common Moissanite Metals Moissanite can be set in a variety of metals, including:

• Gold (solid or plated) – Luxurious, but expensive and heavier for everyday wear

• Platinum – Extremely durable, but high cost and prone to surface dulling

• Silver – Beautiful and accessible, but requires plating to maintain shine

• Mixed base metals – Found in cheap moissanite jewelry; prone to irritation, tarnish, and poor wear

2. Why We Use Recycled S925 Sterling Silver

At Sparkl365, we’re committed to sustainable sparkle. That’s why we use:

• Recycled S925 silver – a premium, solid base that’s eco-conscious and hypoallergenic

• It offers the perfect weight for comfort – not too heavy, not flimsy

• It pairs beautifully with both gold and white-tone plating

3. EternShield™: The Secret to Long-Lasting Shine

Silver needs protection to maintain its brilliance over time – so we seal every piece with EternShield™:

• Boutique-grade anti-tarnish plating

• Designed to resist dullness from sweat, salt, and skin contact

• Adds durability without compromising sparkle or comfort

4. Why We Don’t Use Mixed Metals or Low-Grade Settings

We’ve seen the results of cutting corners:

• Base metals tarnish fast, irritate skin, and can even turn green

• Poor plating means moissanite loses its clean, premium look

• Substandard settings can loosen stones over time

You won’t find that here. Every Sparkl365 setting is designed to complement your lifestyle – built to move with you and stay brilliant.

5. Which Finish Is Right for You?

We offer two timeless options:

• White gold tone – Sleek, modern, and effortlessly versatile

• 18K gold tone – Warm, coastal, and softly luminous

Each is plated over solid S925 silver using our long-wear formula for maximum performance and visual appeal.

Final Thoughts: Sparkle Deserves a Strong Foundation

Your moissanite deserves more than a pretty setting – it deserves one that lasts. At Sparkl365, we chose recycled sterling silver for a reason: it’s elegant, ethical, and everyday-ready.
