Why Carat Weight Matters Less Than You Think?

When shopping for a moissanite solitaire ring we often keep wondering whether we are picking the right carat weight. That’s because there’s a misconception that engagement rings must be big and people around you should notice them from a distance. The fact, however, is much different. The section below would help you to understand that you can get high-quality moissanite even if you don’t buy pieces of high carat weight.

Carat Cut Matters Most

You may be buying a vintage moissanite engagement ring or a trendy piece, checking the carat cut is a must to ensure that you are investing in the right product. According to the experts, carat cut plays a crucial role in giving the stone a perfect visual appearance. It decides how much the stone will sparkle. This means moissanite or diamonds boasting better cuts will automatically look brighter.

You can save a good amount of money by going for a cut that will make your solitaire look bigger. For instance, if you get a halo ring i.e. a ring with one medium-sized stone in the middle and several smaller ones surrounding it, you can expect the ring to look much bigger than the actual size of the solitaire.

 

The Shape of the Stone Plays a Crucial Role

Are you not ready to break the bank but still want to own a larger than life moissanite piece? Surprisingly, that’s possible if you choose the right shape for the precious stone. Ideally, you should opt for an oval, pear, or emerald-shaped moissanite. These shapes make the stone look much bigger than its original size. You can maximize the carat weight of your solitaire even by opting for a cushion-cut stone or a Rensu cut piece, a specialty of Diamondrensu.

Never Focus Only on Getting a Big Solitaire

You must understand that bigger is not always better. So, other than focusing on size and carat weight, you must also look for quality cuts. This will allow you to ensure that the piece you are getting offers maximum sparkle. Depending on your preference, you can pick cushion, pear, round, or Rensu cut solitaire.

Other than checking the carat weight, cut, shape, and clarity of the stone, you must also have a look at its color. Certain colors make the stones appear more valuable without actually making you spend more. Examples include light yellow, grey, and of course clear. You can also opt for a rare metal option like a rose gold moissanite engagement ring to make the ring look more valuable.
