Moissanites are the most popular diamond alternative and look amazing in any of our custom ring designs. Previously most companies only created moissanites in standard sizes and shapes. We specialize in custom crafted engagement rings and are thrilled that our clients now can custom cut center stones as well through Harro! Today we will go over how to select the perfect custom cut moissanite for you

Start With The Ring Design

When it comes to diamond engagement rings, pricing places a huge factor in picking out the right ring design. For example you may love a round brilliant cut however found that round cuts are very expensive. With moissanite, you are able to select a larger center and even a more intricate setting design without sacrificing on the look or quality of the design. If you know we will be purchasing a moissanite ring then you can definitely pick an intricate design to go along with it if it fits your budget. You can easily select a three row pave band or special halo design for a moissanite ring that you may not have been able to work on with a diamond center ring.

Shape

Once you have settled on the exact ring design, think about your favorite center stone shape. Do you love rounded elongated cuts such as oval and pear shape? Or are you more a fan of square shapes like cushion and princess cut? Think about what you find to be most appealing and also what shape is most flattering on your hand.

Cut

Once you have selected the shape of your stone think about the interior faceting pattern or cut of the stone you may like. Some shapes come in a variety of facet patterns. For example, a stone can have crushed ice faceting, antique faceting, or brilliant style facet patterns for you to pick from.

Ratio and Exact Measurements

We would recommend selecting the desired size of the center you have in mind first. From there figure our if you want the shape of the center to be elongated or more square in shape. This would apply for diamonds where the ratios vary such as oval, pear, cushion, radiant, emerald cut etc…

Pick The Measurements

Once you have decided on the overall ratio that you like best you can then pick out the measurements and carat size equivalent that will work best for you. For example if you have decided on a 1:1.1 ratio elongated cushion at 3 carats then a 9x8mm will be a perfect moissanite shape for you! If you are after a 1.3 ratio oval stone at 2 carats then a 9.2x7mm size will be a great option

If you are unsure on the right millimeter size that you should select, you can always just ask us. We can easily let you know a good recommended size and ratio for the design and carat size look that you are after!
