Moissanite Shape

  Moissanite can be cut into virtually any shape, much like diamonds. The shape refers to the physical form of the gemstone when viewed from above and includes options such as round, princess (square), oval, cushion, pear, emerald, radiant, asscher, marquise, and heart. The choice of shape is typically based on personal preference and the style of the jewelry piece.

Here are a few popular moissanite shapes:

  Round: The round brilliant cut is the most popular shape for most gemstones, including Moissanite. It is designed to maximize the stone's brilliance and has 57 or 58 facets.

  Princess: The princess cut is a square shape with pointed corners. It is the second most popular shape and is known for its modern, clean lines.

  Oval: Oval shaped Moissanite is an elongated shape that can make the stone appear larger than it actually is. It's a great choice for someone who wants something a little different but still appreciates a lot of sparkles.

  Emerald: The emerald cut is a rectangular shape with cut corners. It is known for its elegance and long lines. Unlike the round and princess cuts, which are brilliant cuts, the emerald is a step cut, which means it has fewer facets and less sparkle.

  Pear: The pear shape, also known as a teardrop shape, is rounded on one end and pointed on the other. It is a brilliant cut, so it has a lot of sparkles.

  Remember, the shape of the Moissanite does not affect the quality of the stone, but it does influence the overall look of the jewelry. Some shapes can also make the stone look larger or smaller, so it's important to consider the shape when choosing a Moissanite gem.
