Question 1

What is a radiant cut moissanite?

Accepted Answer

The radiant cut is a rectangular or square cut with trimmed corners and a brilliant faceting pattern — combining the elegance of an emerald cut silhouette with the sparkle of a round brilliant. In moissanite, the radiant cut produces exceptional fire and brilliance.

Question 2

How does radiant cut moissanite compare to cushion cut?

Accepted Answer

Both are popular square/rectangular brilliant cuts, but the radiant has trimmed corners (making it more durable) while the cushion has rounded corners and a softer look. Radiant tends to produce more uniform sparkle; cushion produces more of a crushed-ice or chunky flash effect. The choice is personal.

Question 3

Are Best Brilliance radiant moissanite rings certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every moissanite at Best Brilliance is certified by an independent third-party lab — a standard most moissanite retailers don't hold themselves to. The certificate is included with your ring as proof of quality and authenticity.

Question 4

What setting styles complement a radiant cut moissanite?

Accepted Answer

Radiant cut moissanite pairs beautifully with a four-prong solitaire, a halo setting, or a three-stone design with baguette or trapezoid side stones. The trimmed corners make it more versatile than a princess cut for a variety of setting styles.

Question 5

Is radiant cut moissanite a good choice for everyday wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it extremely resistant to scratching. The trimmed corners of the radiant cut also make it more durable than sharp-cornered cuts like princess. It's an excellent choice for a ring worn daily.
