Cut proportions

Radiant Cut Moissanite is available in both square and rectangular shapes. The aspect ratios for squares range between 1.00 and 1.03 and for rectangles between 1.20 and 1.40. The rectangular aspect ratio is recommended for a larger and more attractive look and a slimmer finger.

Color / Clarity

Radiant Cut Moissanite has a stronger fire, the color appears less pronounced and defects in the diamond are less visible to the naked eye. The color and clarity grades of a diamond can be relaxed as appropriate. Both the fire and sparkle of the radiant cut enhance the color of the moissanite to a certain extent, leaving the inclusions in the stone relatively unnoticeable. The lower limits of acceptable color and clarity grades can therefore be relaxed when choosing Radiant Cut Moissanite.

Aspect Ratio

Radiant Cut Moissanite can be square or rectangular, and the aspect ratio is the most intuitive number reflecting the shape of the diamond. Shape preference varies from person to person, with different aspect ratios of Radiant Cut Moissanite giving a different stylistic impression, the smaller the aspect ratio, the more rectangular it tends to be.
