Questions before you order? We’re here to help
A modern staple. A timeless essential.
Set in a six-prong claw, this design introduces a more intricate frame around the stone, allowing light to pass through with added precision while maintaining a soft, detailed finish.
Crafted in rhodium finished 925 sterling silver, the setting is designed to feel lighter on the ear, with a subtle openness that enhances the stone’s brilliance without adding weight or structure.
At 0.3ct (4.5mm), this size sits close to the ear with a refined, understated presence. The six-prong setting brings a touch more detail to the silhouette, offering a more nuanced alternative to the standard four-prong form.
A considered piece for those drawn to subtlety, proportion, and fine detail.

Frequently asked questions
Understanding Round Brillant Cut:
What makes round brilliant cut special?
"What makes round brilliant cut special?"
Round brilliant cut is the most mathematically precise cut, designed for maximum sparkle.
The history:
In 1919, Marcel Tolkowsky calculated the exact angles needed to maximize light return. His round brilliant cut formula hasn't changed in over a century because the geometry is simply correct.
The precision:
Round brilliant has 58 facets, each angled precisely to reflect light back to your eye. This creates maximum fire, intense rainbow sparkle from every angle.
Why it's remained the standard:
Every other cut is measured against round brilliant. It's the baseline for sparkle, the reference point for excellence.
After 100+ years of innovations in diamond and gemstone cutting, nothing has surpassed round brilliant for sheer fire.
The aesthetic:
Classic, timeless, elegant. Round brilliant doesn't rely on trends, the perfect geometry makes it inherently beautiful.
In moissanite:
Round Cut Moissanite's higher refractive index (2.65-2.69 vs diamond's 2.42) means round brilliant moissanite creates even MORE fire than round brilliant diamond.
Those 58 precisely angled facets amplify moissanite's natural brilliance beautifully.
Why are round stud earrings the most popular?
"Why are round stud earrings the most popular?"
Because they work for absolutely everything, every age, every style, every occasion.
The universal appeal:
Round studs suit every face shape. Flatter every age. Work with every personal style from classic to modern. Appropriate for every occasion from work meetings to weddings.
No other cut has this level of versatility.
Why this matters:
You can buy one pair of round studs and wear them daily for years. You don't need multiple pairs for different occasions, these are the earrings that work for everything.
The classic status:
Round studs have been the standard for over a century. They've outlasted every trend, every fashion movement, every style evolution.
When people think "stud earrings," they picture round brilliant. It's the archetype.
For gifting:
Round is the safest choice when buying for someone else. You don't need to know their style preferences, round works for everyone.
The foundation piece:
Most people start with round stud earrings, then add other cuts later. Round is the foundation, everything else is an addition.
Do round stud earrings sparkle more than other cuts?
"Do round studs sparkle more than other cuts?"
Round brilliant creates maximum sparkle, it's mathematically designed for this.
Sparkle hierarchy:
Most sparkle:
- Round brilliant - 58 facets, perfect angles ✦✦✦
- Radiant - 70 facets, but angles optimized differently ✦✦✦
High sparkle:
3. Oval, Pear - Brilliant cuts, same faceting as round ✦✦
Minimal sparkle:
5. Emerald - Step-cut (elegant flashes, not fire)
Why round brilliant leads:
Marcel Tolkowsky's 1919 calculations determined the exact crown angle, pavilion depth, and table size needed for maximum light return.
Every facet is positioned to reflect light straight back to your eye. This creates more consistent, intense sparkle than any other cut.
In practical terms:
Round studs sparkle constantly, from every viewing angle, in every lighting condition. The brilliance is reliable and intense.
Other cuts sparkle beautifully too, but round's sparkle is the most consistent and mathematically optimised.
In moissanite specifically:
Moissanite's higher refractive index means round moissanite creates MORE rainbow fire than round diamond. The perfect faceting amplifies moissanite's natural brilliance.
What is the round cut six-claw setting?
"What is the six-claw setting?"
Six claws or six prong setting hold the stone securely whilst allowing maximum light to enter from all angles.
How it works:
Six small prongs (claws) extend from the setting base to hold the moissanite in place. The stone sits elevated, with open space beneath and around it.
Why six claws:
- Security: More prongs mean more secure hold. The stone won't shift or loosen.
- Light exposure: The open setting allows light to enter from underneath and sides, maximising sparkle.
- Classic aesthetic: Six-prong has been the traditional choice for round stones since the Tiffany Setting popularized it in 1886.
The elevation:
The stone sits slightly raised, which creates beautiful light play. Light enters from multiple angles, reflects through the facets, and creates that brilliant sparkle.
Compared to four-claw:
Four-claw settings show more of the stone (less metal visible). Six-claw provides more security.
For everyday wear earrings, six-claw offers excellent protection.
The look:
The claws are minimal and refined, they secure the stone without distracting from its brilliance. All you see is sparkle.
Moissanite Round Specific:
Does round moissanite sparkle like diamond?
"Does round moissanite sparkle like diamond?"
Round moissanite sparkles more than round diamond.
The science:
Moissanite's refractive index is 2.65-2.69. Diamond's is 2.42.
Higher refractive index = more light bending = more fire = more rainbow sparkle.
In round brilliant specifically:
Those 58 precisely angled facets amplify moissanite's natural brilliance. Round brilliant moissanite creates more intense rainbow fire than round brilliant diamond.
What you'll see:
More colourful sparkle. Diamond creates more white brilliance. Moissanite creates more rainbow flashes.
Both are beautiful, moissanite just has more fire.
The difference:
To most people, both look like brilliant sparkle. The difference is subtle, moissanite has slightly more colourful fire.
Even jewellers sometimes need testing equipment to tell them apart visually.
On Bellari's quality:
Our D-colour (completely colourless), VVS1 clarity moissanite ensures the brilliance is clean and intense. The round brilliant cut demands flawless stones—which is what we select.
What matters:
You're getting the most classic, timeless cut with exceptional sparkle. Whether diamond or moissanite, round brilliant is perfection.
Is round the best cut for moissanite?
"Is round the best cut for moissanite?"
Round brilliant is excellent for moissanite, the perfect faceting maximises moissanite's natural fire.
Why round works beautifully for moissanite:
Optimised brilliance: The 58 facets are angled to maximise light return. In moissanite's higher refractive index, this creates exceptional rainbow sparkle.
Proven geometry: Tolkowsky's calculations work perfectly for moissanite. The cut showcases moissanite's strengths beautifully.
Classic appearance: Round brilliant looks elegant in any stone. The timeless cut ensures moissanite looks refined, not costume-like.
Other excellent cuts for moissanite:
- Radiant Moissanite Earrings: 70 facets create even more fire. Maximum sparkle in geometric form.
- Oval Moissanite Earrings: Brilliant cut with romantic elongation. Amplifies moissanite's brilliance beautifully.
- Pear Moissanite Earrings: Brilliant faceting in distinctive shape.
The verdict:
Round is one of the best cuts for moissanite because the brilliant faceting maximises what moissanite does best, intense fire.
Choose round if you want the classic cut with maximum versatility and exceptional moissanite sparkle.
Can people tell round moissanite from diamond?
"Can people tell round moissanite from diamond?"
Most people cannot tell the difference.
What people see:
Brilliant sparkle. Classic round shape. Beautiful setting. To the untrained eye, it's simply elegant stud earrings.
The subtle difference:
Moissanite has more rainbow fire. Diamond has more white brilliance. In round brilliant, this difference exists but is subtle.
Unless someone is specifically trained to look for this (and most people aren't), they'll simply see sparkle.
Even professionals:
Jewelers sometimes need testing equipment to differentiate round moissanite from round diamond. Visual inspection alone can be unreliable.
In everyday wear:
When you're wearing round moissanite studs, most people admiring them won't identify them as moissanite. They'll simply see beautiful earrings.
What actually matters:
You have classic round brilliant studs that work for everything, sparkle beautifully, and will last your lifetime.
The specific stone is less important than the beauty and versatility.
Size & Styling:
What size round studs should I get?
"What size round studs should I get?"
For most people, 0.3ct (4.5mm) is the perfect everyday size.
Our 0.3ct (4.5mm) size:
This is the classic choice. It's large enough to be visible and elegant, small enough to be comfortable and appropriate everywhere.
What 4.5mm looks like:
Imagine a small pea, that's roughly the size. Noticeable on your ear without being overwhelming.
Why 0.3ct is most popular:
Versatile: Works for everyday AND special occasions. You don't need multiple sizes.
Professional: Appropriate for even the most conservative workplaces.
Comfortable: Light enough to wear all day, every day.
Flattering: Suits all face shapes and ear sizes. Not so large it overpowers smaller features, not so small it disappears on larger frames.
Age-appropriate: This size works whether you're 20 or 70.
How to decide:
If you want one versatile pair: Choose 0.3ct. It's the size that works for everything.
If you have small, delicate features: 0.3ct is perfect—elegant without overwhelming.
If you have larger features or want more presence: You might eventually want a second pair in a larger size for special occasions, but 0.3ct works beautifully as your everyday pair.
Carat vs millimeters:
Carat measures weight. Millimeters measure actual size. For round studs, 0.3ct = 4.5mm actual diameter.
This is the size you're seeing when you look at the earrings.
Is 0.3ct too small for moissanite stud earrings?
Not at all. Our 0.3ct round-cut moissanite studs are the classic, timeless choice for daily elegance.
Understanding Carat vs. Size:
It's important to know that 0.3ct refers to the weight of the moissanite stone, not its physical size. The actual diameter of our 0.3ct round studs is 4.5mm which is the most classic, timeless size for everyday stud earrings.
Why 4.5mm is Perfect:
Classic Proportions: This is the traditional "everyday stud" size that's been beloved for generations. It's elegant without being overwhelming.
Versatile for Everything: Professional enough for work, polished enough for special occasions, comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Maximized Brilliance: At 4.5mm, our round brilliant cut has ample surface area to showcase moissanite's exceptional fire and sparkle. You get stunning brilliance from the stone's quality, not just size.
Universally Flattering: 4.5mm suits every face shape and ear size. It's the sweet spot that looks "just right" on everyone.
Our customers tell us these become their "go-to" earrings the pair they put on every morning and forget they're wearing because they feel so natural.
How do I style round studs?

- Any hairstyle works: Braids, waves, straight, curly, round studs complement everything.
Clothing:
Round studs genuinely work with any outfit. Casual or formal. Modern or traditional. Minimalist or detailed.
The classic geometry complements rather than competes.
For second piercings:
Many people wear round 0.3ct in their first piercing, then add smaller rounds or other cuts in second/third piercings.
The no-thought piece:
Round studs are the jewellery you wear when you don't want to think about jewellery. They always look right.
Do round studs suit all face shapes?
"Do round studs suit all face shapes?"
Yes, round is the most universally flattering shape.
Why round works for everyone:
The perfect circular symmetry creates balance with any facial structure. No harsh angles to clash with, no elongation that might exaggerate proportions.
By face shape:
- Round faces: Round studs work beautifully. The classic geometry complements without adding width.
- Oval faces: Perfect symmetry. Round suits the balanced proportions.
- Square faces: The soft curves complement angular jawlines elegantly.
- Heart-shaped faces: The balanced circular shape works harmoniously.
- Diamond faces: Round's symmetry flatters angular cheekbones.
- Long faces: Round provides elegant presence without adding length.
The universal truth:
If you're uncertain about what suits your face shape, round is always the answer.
Compared to other cuts:
- Oval Studs: Also universally flattering, with added elongation (particularly good for round faces).
- Emerald Studs: Can be angular for some face shapes.
- Pear Studs: Distinctive, works well but not quite as universal as round.
Round is the baseline: Other cuts may be more flattering for specific faces, but round flatters everyone.
Can I wear round studs in second piercings?
"Can I wear round studs in second piercings?"
Absolutely, graduated round studs create cohesive, elegant styling.
The graduated approach:
Start with your largest studs in the first piercing (closest to your face), then graduate smaller as you move up the ear.
If you have 1ct rounds:
- First piercing: 1ct round studs (largest, most visible)
- Second piercing: 0.5ct rounds (medium)
- Third piercing: 0.3ct rounds (smallest)
All round brilliant, progressively smaller. Cohesive and elegant.
If you're starting with 0.5ct rounds:
- First piercing: 0.5ct round studs
- Second piercing: 0.3ct rounds (our everyday size)
- Third piercing: Even smaller rounds if you have them
If you only have our 0.3ct rounds:
You can wear these in your first piercing as your primary studs, then add different cuts in second/third piercings for visual interest:
Option 1: Round 0.3ct (first) + tiny simple studs (second)
Option 2: Round 0.3ct (first) + different cut in second:
- Round + Oval Studs 0.5ct - but oval is larger, so this works if you want second piercing to have more presence
Mixing cuts (more advanced):
- First piercing: Oval Studs 1ct or Pear Studs 1ct (largest)
- Second piercing: Emerald Studs 0.5ct or Round Studs 0.3ct (smaller, classic)
- Third piercing: Tiny rounds or simple studs
The principle:
Largest stone closest to your face. Graduate smaller as you move up. This draws attention to your features rather than creating visual clutter.
Round works in any position because the classic shape complements rather than competes.

Where It Began.
Bellari was founded in Sydney, Australia by Kay and Dino, inspired by a single tennis bracelet that became a symbol of timeless style.
