We should all know that the 4C standard of moissanite according to my previous science article,is carat,clarity,color and cut.
So have you known the cut of moissanite?And how does it affect the quality of moissanite?Let's have a brief talk about it today.
For the moissanite,which bears a striking resemblance to diamond,we will also measure its value by the rigorous 4C standard.Now more and more moissanite are machine cutting,the quality can't be compared with the pure hand grinding cutting.Cut affects the quality of moissanite directly,the perfect cut makes it brilliant，and the excelsior cutting technology is given the second life of moissanite.
Eight hearts and eight arrows is one of the technical terms of moissanite,also known as the "Cupid’s Cut",it has 57 facets,and its perfect symmetry and precision is amazing!
In a sense,the number of facets represents the level of moissanite's cut craftsmanship.According to the optical principle,the more cut facets, the more times the light will be refracted in moissanite,and the more concentrated the reflected light will be,moissanite will have a stronger fire.
The cut of eight hearts and eight arrows refers to eight beautiful artistic conceptions of "encountering, like, hint, dream, first kiss, lingering, tacit understanding and promises",it made the most perfect interpretation of the dazzling conception when love comes.
Moissanite cut mainly includes incise,polish and symmetry,so as to make it brilliant，dispersive and scintillating to maximum impact.
Moissanite's cut grade can be divided into five categories:EXCELLENT,VERY GOOD,GOOD,FAIR and POOR,only 3% high quality moissanite can achieve the ideal cut effect.
The influence of the cut on moissanite is also reflected in the price variance.
Generally speaking,the moissanite's price of the same carat, color and clarity, can be affected by about 40% if the cut grade is one level off,especially for large carat ones,the price variance is particularly obvious.
The importance of cut to moissanite’s quality lies in that only through accurate calculation,well design, perfect cut and polishing, can the light incident into it is fully refracted out of the top surface, make it brilliant.And the fire is the charm of moissanite,it’s an important factor that attracts people,So the cut can also be said to be the "second life" of moissanite.
In short,doing everything we can to enhance the stunning brilliance of this amazing stone.
