Question 1

Why is oval moissanite one of the most popular engagement ring choices?

Accepted Answer

Oval moissanite combines the brilliance of a round cut with an elongated shape that makes the stone appear larger and creates a flattering, finger-lengthening effect. It's one of the most universally flattering cuts available — elegant, modern, and incredibly brilliant.

Question 2

Does oval moissanite face up larger than round moissanite of the same carat weight?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The oval cut has a larger surface area than a round of the same carat weight, meaning it faces up noticeably bigger. This makes oval moissanite an excellent choice for buyers who want maximum visual impact.

Question 3

Are Best Brilliance oval moissanite rings certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every moissanite at Best Brilliance is certified by an independent third-party lab — something most moissanite retailers don't provide. The certificate is included with your ring, giving you full confidence in your stone's quality and authenticity.

Question 4

What is the bow-tie effect in oval moissanite and how do you avoid it?

Accepted Answer

The bow-tie effect is a dark shadow that can appear across the center of an oval stone due to light leakage. It's common in poorly cut ovals. At Best Brilliance, we carefully select oval moissanite stones for optimal cut quality to minimize this effect.

Question 5

What setting styles work best with oval moissanite?

Accepted Answer

Oval moissanite is incredibly versatile. It looks stunning in a simple solitaire, a halo, a hidden halo, or a three-stone setting with pear or round side stones. A thin pave band is a popular choice to let the oval center stone take center stage.
