Criss Cut Moissanite Rings

Step Cut Shape, Brilliant-Style Sparkle

A classic emerald cut uses long, parallel step facets that act like mirrors and give broad flashes of light. A criss cut divides those steps into a crisscross pattern, so light bounces in more directions. The stone keeps its crisp rectangular or cushion outline but sparkles more like a brilliant cut. If you love the calm mirror look instead, see our emerald cut moissanite engagement rings.

Emerald or Cushion Outline

Most rings here use an elongated, emerald-shaped criss cut, such as an 11 x 7 mm stone, which lengthens the look of the finger. The cushion criss cut is softer and squarer. Both are set as solitaires so the facet pattern stays the focus.

Criss Cut or Radiant?

Both bring sparkle to a rectangular stone. A radiant has trimmed corners and a full brilliant facet pattern, so it looks busier. A criss cut keeps the clean, architectural outline of a step cut. Compare our radiant cut moissanite rings side by side.

Sizes and Metals

The designs here run from about 2 to 5 ct. Each listing gives the stone size in millimetres, which is the best way to judge how it will look. Every ring is made to order in 925 sterling silver or 10K, 14K or 18K solid gold, in yellow, white or rose, and is stamped with its metal.
