Moissanite that is precisely cut will have more shine, this is because the light that enters into it will reflect back into the eyes without getting dispersed from the button or the sides. Even if the moissanite doesn’t lie in the good grade but is cut precisely, will shine much brighter than the one that is poorly cut. If the stone of your moissanite ring has a low-quality cut, it will have a moderate sparkle despite the shape and number of facets in the stone.

If the formation and angles of the stone are wrong, the light entering into the jewellery will slip out without reflecting back. This will lower the ability of the gemstone to sparkle. This will make the gem appear lifeless and dull.

Usually, people tend to predict a stone’s quality more on the basis of its color but the other factor (cut) that contributes to the gemstone’s excellence is always neglected.
While buying moissanite jewellery, it’s important that you not only check out the color of the gemstone but make sure you know how the stone is cut!

A well-cut moissanite gemstone will exude out excellent shine and sparkle. The structure and properties of moissanite are very refined. Moissanite has high dispersion and refraction levels, therefore it is said to be having high brilliance and fire.
Additionally, moissanite doesn’t have any cleavages, this allows it to be cut in any shape with precision and finish.

 
Main types of Cuts for Moissanite:

There are basically two main types of cuts, these include:

1. Crushed ice cut
   A crushed ice cut moissanite reflects the light out from many angles of the facets, this makes the stone look very clear and sparkling.

It usually applies to shapes such as pears, cushions, radiants, and ovals. This cut features many facets in diverse directions thus, resulting in a scintillating moissanite solitaire.

• Brilliant-cut
  On the other hand, we have brilliant-cut moissanite. This cut gives out more sparkle to the gemstone. It has highly defined facets, that originate from the center, radiating extreme shine outwards.  

How do you select the right shape and cut for your moissanite jewellery?

While you move to buy moissanite jewellery, no matter what, you buy moissanite earrings or moissanite engagement rings or any other type, make sure you buy brilliant-cut moissanite.

Make sure you check out the following things from the jeweler about the moissanite stone:

• Quality grade
• Number of facets
• Cut type.

If you are unaware of these factors, you can end up buying a dull moissanite ring or earring. So, make sure you check out these factors from the seller, this will ensure that you get the colorless moissanite jewelry with high sparkle.
