Shop LC is announcing a sale on moissanite jewelry! The gemstone continues to become popular among self-purchasers and couples looking for affordable, unique engagement and bridal options.
Moissanite, easier to work with and less expensive than diamond, is being cut into various fashionable and fanciful designs, including ovals, pears, and unusual round cuts like the 120-facet and Old European. Additionally, colored moissanite in shades such as pink, yellow, orange, blue, and red are becoming increasingly popular.
Moissanite has a great appearance and price, but it’s important to note that it does have a unique sparkle, with 2.4 times the fire of a diamond. Moissanite displays more fire than diamond due to its higher refractive index.
Moissanite Gem Cuts
The sale includes various trending moissanite cuts, such as the Emperor Cut, Trapezoid Cut, Crushed Ice Cut, Old European Cut, Radiant Cut, 120 Facet, and Asscher Cut.
Emperor Cut
A very new stone cut, the emperor cut modifies the traditional round brilliant in a few notable ways. Utilizing eight heart-shaped facets, it combines this with a concave cut at the bottom of the stone with a checkerboard pattern on the top. This results in an aesthetically pleasing gem cut with extra sparkle.
Trapezoid Cut
Trapezoid-shaped cuts are often used as side stones in jewelry. These gems have four sides, with the bottom sides parallel and the top slanting inward. They show up as side stones in solitaire engagement rings and pendant necklaces.
Crushed Ice Cut
The crushed ice cut refers to a stone cut with multiple small facets, giving it a sparkly “crushed ice” appearance. This cut is sometimes referred to as a “scattered” or “diamond dust” cut. It is achieved by cutting the stone with many extra, small facets, increasing the sparkle and brilliance the gemstone emits.
Old European Cut
An Old European Cut (OEC) is a stone cut popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. A round shape, a small table, a high crown, and a large culet characterize it. OEC stones have a unique antique look and are often preferred by vintage and antique jewelry enthusiasts.
Radiant Cut
A radiant cut is a type of stone cut that combines the brilliance of a round cut with the rectangular shape of an emerald cut. The radiant cut is characterized by its trimmed corners and 70 facets, which gives it a unique sparkle and brilliance.
120 Facet
A 120-facet cut is a stone cut polished with 120 facets. Meanwhile, a standard 57-58 facets on a round brilliant cut or the typical 32-33 facets on an emerald cut. These many facets are intended to increase the stone’s sparkle and brilliance.
The extra facets are often achieved by adding a different set of facets, the star facets, and the lower girdle facets. These extra facets are added to the top of the gemstone, called the crown. They are also placed at the bottom of the gem, known as the pavilion.
The 120-facet cut is a relatively new development in cutting and is less common than standard cuts. It is often used in high-end jewelry and can be more expensive than traditional cuts.
Asscher Cut
An Asscher cut is a type of stone cut similar to an emerald cut but with a square shape and a higher crown. The Asscher cut is characterized by its step-cut facets, which resemble a staircase. It also has a small table, a high crown, and a large culet.
The Asscher cut is known for its unique, vintage look and is a popular choice for those who prefer a more antique or Art Deco style. It is also a good choice for those who prefer a more understated, timeless look. Asscher-cut diamonds often have a higher clarity grade, as the step-cut facets tend to highlight any inclusions. So, it’s an excellent option for those who want to show off a stone’s natural beauty.
Colored Moissanite
Colored moissanite is sometimes called fancy moissanite. They are gaining popularity with those wanting the sparkle and clarity of moissanite but with a pop of color. The top colors include pink, red, Padparadscha (pink orange), yellow, and blue. This is typically achieved with a coating process.
