The cut of a moissanite determines its brilliance, fire, and visual character. Explore the most popular cutting styles and which suits your custom design best.
Round Brilliant Cut
The most popular cut with 57-58 facets optimized for maximum light return. Round moissanite offers exceptional brilliance and fire, making it the classic choice for engagement rings.
Fancy Shapes
TABLE:
| Shape | Characteristics | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Oval | Elongated, larger appearance | Slender fingers, modern taste |
| Cushion | Square with rounded corners, vintage look | Romantic, classic style |
| Emerald | Step-cut, hall-of-mirrors | Clean, sophisticated look |
| Pear | Teardrop, unique | Statement, individuality |
| Heart | Romantic symbol | Romantic gifts |
Cut Quality Matters
A poorly cut moissanite can look glassy or exhibit a 'bowtie' effect. Holycome uses only excellent-cut moissanite with precise facet alignment for maximum brilliance.
Custom Setting by Shape
Different shapes require different setting approaches. Oval and pear shapes need prong alignment with the stone's orientation. Cushion and round work well in both prong and bezel settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cut shows the most sparkle?

Do fancy shapes cost more?
