Pear cut moissanite and pear-cut diamonds appear almost identical to the naked eye.
In terms of fire and brilliance, moissanite has more sparkle due to its higher refractive index and dispersion.
On the Mohs scale, moissanite scores 9.25 vs. diamondβs 10, but still offers excellent security for daily wear.
Price-wise, pear moissanite is a far more affordable alternative for the same carat size.
The βbow-tie effectβ is a shadow in the center stone caused by how light reflects within the cut moissanite. Selecting a well-cut, symmetrical stone helps minimize it. At MollyJewelryUS, all categories of moissanite rings are carefully curated to reduce this visual flaw.
Pear-shaped rings work beautifully with:
Curved bands: to hug the point of the pear comfortably. Especially curved moissanite bands can complement the engagement ringβs main stone beautifully.
Open bands: which form a modern, symmetrical pair.
Eternity bands with side stones or moissanites, which boost total sparkle.
We additionally offer custom band options for seamless matching.
Under equal specs, pear cut moissanite can be slightly more expensive than oval due to the intricate cut and the need to protect the point. However, the price gap is minimal and depends more on the design, settings, and personal preferences.
The point is more delicate, like other fancy cut moissanite styles. Thatβs why we recommend settings with V-shaped prongs to increase security. With the right design, your ring is both dazzling and durable.
Absolutely! Whether youβre choosing a minimalist solitaire or something detailed with side stones, weβll help you choose a cut moissanite engagement ring that fits your finger, lifestyle, and personal style. Our browser-based experience makes customization easy from start to finish.
