Selecting the Size of Your Moissanite

Moissanite has easily become one of the most popular diamond alternatives to date. Its bright, clean appearance, stunning brilliance, and affordable price make it a total winner. There are several ways to choose the right moissanite size, and we’re here to help you figure out which one works best for you.

When it comes to moissanite, the price per carat is way lower than that of diamonds. For example, a 2-carat moissanite might cost around $500, while a 2-carat diamond could easily run you $20,000. That’s why picking the right moissanite size is such a big deal—budget isn’t really a limiting factor, and you’ve got way more options. For just a little extra cash, you can bump up the carat weight. So let’s talk about how to choose the perfect moissanite size for you!

Pick something realistic

A lot of people try to pass off their moissanite as a real diamond. We’ve noticed that many want their ring to look as “believable” as possible—whatever that means to you! If that’s your goal, we’d recommend not going too big with your moissanite. A larger stone will draw more attention, and if you’re aiming for a natural look, a massive rock might raise some eyebrows.

For the most realistic effect, we suggest keeping your moissanite under 3 carats. That way, you get the best of both worlds—saving serious cash while still rocking a stunning, eye-catching ring!

Or…don’t pick something realistic

If dainty rings just aren’t your style—it’s time to go big! If you want maximum sparkle and size, why hold back? While hardly anyone drops hundreds of thousands on a natural 5, 6, or 7-carat diamond, you can easily get a massive moissanite that satisfies your craving for a bold, gorgeous stone.

A large moissanite ring makes the ultimate statement piece—guaranteed to turn heads. Set your showstopping moissanite in a custom-designed setting, and boom—you’ve got a jaw-dropping look without the insane price tag. Go bold, shine bright, and own it!

Take Your Hand into Consideration

It is important to take your hand and finger size into consideration when selecting the size of your moissanite. If you have larger fingers now is your chance to get a bigger center stone without breaking the bank. If you have smaller hands you may not want that big of a center since it will look too overpowering. Again there really are no right or wrong answers so do what  feels right to you and you think looks the best!
