When shopping for a moissanite engagement ring, understanding the 4 Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat—can help you choose a stone that fits your style, expectations, and budget. Just like with diamonds, these characteristics affect how your moissanite looks and performs over time.
At Moisora, we believe in educating our customers so you can shop with confidence and clarity. Here's what you need to know about judging moissanite quality like a professional.
1. Cut – The Key to Brilliance
Cut is the most important C when it comes to sparkle. A well-cut moissanite reflects more light and gives off that signature fire and brilliance.
Popular moissanite cuts at Moisora:
Round Brilliant – maximum sparkle and symmetry
Oval Cut – elongating and elegant
Cushion Cut – vintage softness with intense sparkle
Emerald Cut – clean lines, more subtle flashes
Radiant & Pear Cut – unique choices with strong light return
All our stones are precisely faceted to maximize brilliance and minimize dull spots.
2. Color – Near Colorless or Icy White?
Moissanites are graded on a scale similar to diamonds, from colorless (D-E-F) to near-colorless (G-H-I). While colorless stones are icy and bright, near-colorless moissanites can offer a warm, natural look—often preferred for vintage settings or rose gold bands.
At Moisora.com, we offer both D-F and G-H grade stones to suit your aesthetic and budget.
3. Clarity – Flawless to the Naked Eye
Clarity refers to how free the stone is from internal or surface imperfections. Fortunately, most moissanites are eye-clean, meaning inclusions are invisible without magnification.
We carefully inspect each stone to ensure:
No visible inclusions
No cloudiness
High optical performance
Only the best clarity stones make it into our engagement ring collection.
4. Carat – Size Without Sacrifice
Moissanite is less dense than diamonds, so a 1-carat moissanite appears larger than a 1-carat diamond. That means you can choose a bigger-looking stone without the steep price tag.
Popular sizes at Moisora:
1 to 1.5 carats – ideal for solitaires and halos
2 to 3 carats – perfect for bold or three-stone designs
Custom sizes – available on request
