Round, Oval or Radiant? Choosing a Moissanite Ring Shape
The shape of the centre stone sets the whole character of a ring. Here is how the three most popular moissanite shapes compare.
Round brilliant: the classic
A round brilliant is cut to return as much light as possible, so it is the brightest and most traditional choice. It suits every hand and every style, and it is easy to pair with a matching band. Our Round Moissanite Ring comes with a 6.5 mm (1 ct), 8 mm (2 ct) or 9 mm (3 ct) centre stone.
Oval: longer-looking fingers
An oval stone set lengthways draws the eye along the finger, which many people find flattering. For the same carat weight, an oval also tends to look larger than a round because more of its surface faces up. Our Oval Moissanite Ring has a 7 × 9 mm (2 ct) centre.
Radiant: crisp and modern
A radiant cut combines the clean outline of a rectangle with brilliant-style faceting, so it is both geometric and sparkly. It reads as modern and a little architectural. Our Radiant Moissanite Ring has a 5 × 7 mm (1 ct) centre.
Quick comparison
| Shape | Look | Best if you want |
|---|---|---|
| Round | Classic, maximum sparkle | A timeless ring that works with everything |
| Oval | Elegant, elongating | A larger-looking stone and a softer outline |
| Radiant | Modern, geometric | Clean lines with plenty of fire |
Want a matching band?
