Round vs. Oval vs. Emerald Cut: Top 5 Moissanite Shapes That Maximize Sparkle
So, you’ve decided on Moissanite (great choice—hello, sparkles!). But now you are staring at a menu of shapes: Round, Oval, Emerald, Pear, Radiant... and they all look beautiful.
How do you choose?
The shape of your stone defines the entire personality of the ring. It also determines two critical things: how much the ring sparkles and how big it looks on your finger.
At Esdomera, we cut our Moissanite to maximize light performance using advanced technology. However, physics is physics—different cuts reflect light differently. Here is our 2026 guide to the Top 5 shapes, ranked by sparkle and style.
1. The Round Brilliant Cut
Rank: #1 for Maximum Sparkle
If your #1 priority is blinding sparkle, stop reading and pick the Round Brilliant. It is mathematically engineered with 57-58 facets to reflect the maximum amount of light back to your eye.
- The Vibe: Classic, Timeless, Traditional.
- Why Esdomera? We use the "Hearts & Arrows" cutting standard. This ensures perfect symmetry, eliminating dark spots and creating an explosion of fire (rainbow flashes) that cheap cuts cannot achieve.
- Best for Hand Shape: Universally flattering on all finger types.
- Shop the Shape: Round Cut Collection
2. The Oval Cut
Rank: #1 for Finger Elongation
The Oval cut has been the reigning queen of social media for the last few years, and it is staying strong in 2026. It combines the brilliance of a round cut with an elongated shape.
- The Vibe: Trendy, Elegant, Feminine.
- The Secret Power: Because it is long, it creates an optical illusion that makes shorter fingers look slender and elegant. Plus, an Oval cut usually looks larger than a Round cut of the same carat weight because it covers more surface area.
- Best Setting: Looks incredible in our Nature-Inspired Twig settings or with a Hidden Halo.

3. The Emerald Cut
Rank: #1 for Vintage Sophistication
The Emerald cut is a "Step Cut." Instead of a disco-ball sparkle, it produces a "Hall of Mirrors" effect—long, dramatic flashes of white light. It is less about "glitter" and more about crystal-clear elegance.
- The Vibe: Art Deco, Old Money, Great Gatsby style.
- Why Moissanite? In diamonds, Emerald cuts show every flaw. But since Esdomera Moissanite is VVS Clarity, you get a perfectly clear, icy pool of light without paying $20,000 for a flawless diamond.
- Best Setting: A must-have for Art Deco geometric settings or Three-Stone rings.

4. The Radiant Cut
Rank: The Best of Both Worlds
Can't decide between the sparkle of a Round cut and the elegant shape of an Emerald cut? Meet the Radiant. It has the rectangular outline of an Emerald cut but the "crushed-ice" faceting of a brilliant cut.
- The Vibe: Glamorous, Modern, Show-stopping.
- Why we love it: It hides scratches and fingerprints better than an Emerald cut, and it sparkles insanely well. It is becoming a huge trend in 2026 for brides who want a "big rock" look.

5. The Pear / Teardrop Cut
Rank: #1 for Uniqueness
Shaped like a tear of joy, the Pear cut is for the romantic. It is an asymmetry that demands attention.
- The Vibe: Boho, Artistic, Unique.
- How to wear it: Most wear it with the point facing the fingertips (to elongate the hand), but wearing it point-down is a bold, rebellious fashion statement.
- Best Setting: Stunning in our Vintage Filigree or simple solitaire settings.
- Shop the Shape: Pear Cut Collection
