The shape of the center stone sets the whole mood of an engagement ring. Some shapes are classic, some are dramatic, and some make the finger look longer and more slender. Here is a guide to every popular moissanite shape.

Round Brilliant

The most classic shape, cut to return as much sparkle as possible. It suits every setting and every style, and it never goes out of fashion. Shop round.

Oval

An elongated brilliant with the same fire as a round, but it looks larger for its weight and makes the finger appear longer. One of today's most requested shapes. Shop oval.

Cushion

A square or slightly rectangular shape with soft rounded corners and a romantic, pillowy look. Perfect for halo and vintage-inspired designs. Shop cushion.

Emerald

A rectangular step cut with long, open facets that create elegant flashes of light, like a hall of mirrors. Sophisticated, modern and very high-end. Shop emerald.

Radiant

The best of both worlds: the rectangular outline of an emerald with the sparkle of a brilliant cut. Bold, modern and incredibly lively. Shop radiant.

Princess

A square brilliant with sharp corners and a contemporary, geometric look. Best protected with prongs at each corner. Shop princess.

Pear

A teardrop shape that combines the round and the marquise. Graceful and unique, it lengthens the finger beautifully. Shop pear.

Marquise

A long boat shape with pointed ends. It offers one of the largest looks for its size and a striking vintage character. Shop marquise.

Heart

The ultimate romantic symbol. A heart looks best in medium to larger sizes, where its shape is clear and defined. Shop heart.
