Understanding the 4 Cs of Moissanite
Continuing our journey through the "Moissanite Education" series, Sparkala is here to illuminate the path to selecting the perfect moissanite with an in-depth look at the 4 Cs—color, clarity, cut, and carat. These criteria are crucial in evaluating the quality of moissanite, just as they are with diamonds, ensuring that you select a piece that meets your expectations in sparkle, size, and style.
Color
Moissanite color grading ranges from colorless to near-colorless and even with slight hues. Colorless moissanite (D-E-F) is comparable to the highest grade of diamonds, offering a stunning, clear appearance that maximizes brilliance. Near-colorless moissanite (G-H-I) provides a slightly warmer tone, offering an excellent balance of quality and value.
Clarity
Clarity in moissanite refers to the presence of internal imperfections or inclusions. Most moissanite sold for jewelry is eye-clean, meaning any inclusions cannot be seen without magnification. Sparkala ensures that each moissanite piece showcases clear beauty, rivaling the clarity of high-quality diamonds.
Cut
The cut of moissanite not only refers to its shape but also to how well the gemstone has been crafted to maximize its brilliance and fire. A well-cut moissanite will reflect light beautifully, enhancing its sparkle. From classic round to elegant princess cuts, the right cut will bring out the best in your moissanite’s visual appeal.
Carat
Carat in moissanite, as with diamonds, measures the weight of the gemstone, which correlates to its size. However, moissanite is lighter than diamonds, meaning a moissanite gemstone will appear larger than a diamond of the same carat weight. This allows for more substantial-looking pieces at a more accessible price point.
