Sparkling Moissanite
Because the properties of moissanite are very close to diamond,it is the most suitable method to choose a moissanite with brilliant fire according to the 4C grades for diamond,namely,weight, cut, color, clarity.
1C:Caratage
We need to prioritise the weight of the mossanite, after all its size is very intuitive.
Unlike diamond, mossanite is generally sold according to the size,this is because the density of mossanite is smaller than that of diamond,after being cut, the actual weight of mossanite, usually 1 carat, is about 0.88 carat and the diameter is 6.5mm.
2C:Cut
Cutting is the only index in 4C that is greatly affected by human factors, and it is also one that is easily ignored by most consumers.But you must know that the cutting is the second life of moissanite,its fire only shinning fully if with a good cutting.
In short, the cutting of the moissanite is divided into three parts: proportion, polishing and symmetry.The moissanite with bad proportion will leak light,that will cause a great deal loss of its fire,resulting in”fisheye diamond”.
The simplest method of tell the cut is that we rotate the mossanite under natural light or a single light source, to see if there is a distinct dark spot,and the color is more important than the cut for melee ones.
3C:Color
Moissanite need to overcome a lot of technical difficulties to cultivate the precious white color,although it's artificial cultivation.
The whitest mossanite is rated D (starting with the first letter of Diamond).Color is divided into 11 levels,in descending alphabetical order from D to Z, D is the best. If you're looking for high quality mossanite, please try to choose the DEF color .
4C:Clarity
Crystal cultivation of mossanite is a long process,and due to the influence of technical conditions and equipment defects, the stone will be coated with some small impurities, resulting in defects.In addition in the processing ,there may be also some defects on the surface of mossanite.Therefore, the flawless mossanite without cutting defects must be the high clarity.
Choose mossanite,create a more magical life by refining and improving.
