While both emerald cut stones have a unique, step-cut look, their inner sparkle is quite different. Emerald cut moissanite is famous for its bold, colorful fire and brilliance, which creates a dazzling display. In contrast, emerald cut diamonds show a more subtle, white flash. Because the step-cut design highlights clarity and symmetry, moissanite often looks cleaner and slightly larger than a similar-carat diamond. It’s the ideal choice if you want an elegant, eye-catching ring at a better price. For a direct comparison, you can explore our lab diamond rings.
