How to Choose the Perfect Moissanite Cut for Maximum Sparkle

One of the most exciting parts of buying moissanite jewelry is choosing the cut. The cut determines how light interacts with the stone — and how much it sparkles.

Why Cut Matters More Than Size

A well-cut moissanite will outshine a larger, poorly cut stone. The cut affects:

Brilliance — the white light return.
Fire — rainbow flashes of color.
Scintillation — the sparkle as the stone moves.
