A good example is a 7.5mm cushion moissanite; it is the rough weight equivalent of a 2-carat cushion cut diamond. On the other hand, a 7.5mm round moissanite is equivalent to 1.50 carat round cut diamond.11 mar 2019
What size moissanite is too big?
Moissanite stones that are larger than 6.7mm (1.2 carats) or so could appear to be larger than average, and therefore, potentially fake to others. In order to stay in a more common (and believable) size range, I recommend that you purchase a ring with Moissanite stone that's no larger than 6.5 mm (1-carat).8 sept 2019
It's best to purchase a Moissanite stone that's 6.5mm (one-carat) or smaller if you want people to assume it's a diamond. Very large diamonds are extremely expensive, so they're often assumed to be fake even if they look real. Color related issues can also be more pronounced for larger stones.8 sept 2019
