Buying guide

Choosing an elongated cushion moissanite ring

An elongated cushion combines length along the finger with softly rounded corners. It offers a useful middle ground for someone drawn to an oval's flow but also to the structure of a rectangular centre stone. The precise outline and setting determine whether the finished ring feels delicate, substantial or somewhere between.

Understand what elongated means

It describes the relationship between the length and width, not a separate gemstone or a quality grade. Compare the millimetre measurements and outline of each centre. A higher length-to-width ratio gives a more slender shape, but there is no single ratio that suits every hand or setting. Our cushion cut moissanite rings provide a useful reference for fuller proportions.

Compare curves with straighter lines

An oval moissanite ring has a continuous curved perimeter. A radiant cut moissanite ring has straighter sides and more defined cropped corners. Viewing these shapes together helps distinguish the silhouette you prefer from the size of the stone shown in a photograph.

Look beneath the centre stone

The longer outline can extend beyond the band. Check the basket, setting height and clearance for the wedding ring you expect to wear beside it. A fine band is a stylistic choice, not a guarantee of a low setting. Review the actual dimensions of designs in the wider petite moissanite collection.

How should I compare stone sizes?

Use length and width first. Diamond-equivalent weight, where quoted, is a comparison rather than the moissanite's actual weight. Assess the complete ring in relation to your hand, and use our consultation service to discuss proportion, metal and band pairing.
