How to choose the right Moissanite for you
Choosing the right moissanite for your ring or jewelry can be a very daunting task. Hopefully we can help make the decision a bit easier for you and help you learn a bit about these beautiful stones.
Moissanite sizes
Like diamonds, moissanite prices go up on a linear scale. This means that the larger the stone, the more expensive it is. The main reason for this is that it costs a lot more to produce a larger moissanite, just like larger diamonds are rare to find.
This chart gives an indication on what sizes moissanites are when they are round cut. Moissanites are basically the same size as diamonds of the same weight. This means that you can fit a moissanite into a ring made for a diamond of the same size. It also means you can use them to replace any lost diamonds in jewelry.
While most people choose moissanites around the 1ct mark, the reasonable price that moissanite stones sell for actually allow you to to choose something a bit larger and still be within budget.
We can supply you with moissanites of nearly any size. If you do not see a carat size listed that you are looking for, please contact us. We will get one custom made for you.

This technology is ground breaking and enhances the optical performance of each moissanite we sell, giving your jewelry that breath taking look that will be sure to amaze anyone looking at it.
The most popular shape in moissanite stones is the round cut, like diamonds, this cut is used in most jewelry, especially rings. While we specialise in round cut moissanite stones, we are also experts in other shapes and we can provide moissanites in all the shapes shown in the below chart.
Moissanite Colour Grades
We use an alphabetical system to grade our moissanites starting from the letter D going through to the letter Z. The more colorless the moissanite, the lower the letter will be, so an absolutely colourless moissanite will be a D.
Moissanites can be yellowish just like diamonds. It is harder to make colourless moissanite stones, but with advances in technology, we are proud to announce that we are able to supply these rare stones.
The metal that you are placing your moissanite on can also be a factor in choosing your stone. The colourless DEF stones look amazing on all metals. Moissanite stones of lower grade, that are slightly yellow, still can look amazing if you hide that yellowing by using yellow gold. This allows you to save money especially if you are on a specific budget.
