Love comes in all shapes and sizes, but when it comes to expressing that love with an engagement ring, the elongated hexagon cut moissanite stands in a class of its own. With its unique geometry and scintillating brilliance, this unconventional gemstone makes a bold and romantic statement.
The Evolution of Moissanite
Discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Henri Moissan, moissanite is a rare mineral first found in a meteor crater. Its fire and brilliance exceed even that of a traditional diamond, at a fraction of the cost. While moissanite has been around for over a century, only recently has the technology advanced enough to shape it into the variety of cuts desired by jewelry designers.
One of these innovative cuts is the elongated hexagon – a six-sided shape with pointed ends that elongate the stone. This shape showcases moissanite’s properties beautifully. The long lines and straight edges maximize light return, creating exceptional sparkle. The hexagon shape also lends itself to creative setting designs.
The Deeper Meaning Behind the Elongated Hexagon Cut
The Elongated Hexagon Moissanite Engagement Ring cut is full of symbolism, making it a meaningful choice for an engagement ring. The six sides represent the six elements needed for a strong relationship – trust, honesty, respect, communication, forgiveness, and commitment. The straight edges provide a solid foundation, while the pointed tips mirror how two lives come together in love.
The elongated shape signifies two souls joining as one on a journey with no end. And the dazzling fire and brilliance embody the passion and radiance of romantic love. For these reasons, the elongated hexagon moissanite cut conveys so much more depth and sentiment than a traditional round solitaire.
Custom Design Options Galore
Melissa Tyson Designs offers custom engagement rings with elongated hexagon moissanite as the focal point. With the gemstone secured in a unique bezel or tension setting, the possibilities are endless. The elongated shape lends itself to east-west configurations, two stones wrapped in metal knots or infinity symbols, trio ring stacks, and more. Vintage-inspired designs with filigree detailing and modern styles with negative space also stun with this cut.
Since moissanite is incredibly brilliant but more affordable than a diamond, it provides room in the budget to get creative. Couples can play with metal colors like rose gold or brushed platinum. Or add diamond halos and side stones for extra sparkle. Melissa Tyson Designs turns dreams into jeweled realities with one-of-a-kind elongated hexagon moissanite engagement rings.
Benefits Beyond Brilliance
While its splendor certainly turns heads, the elongated hexagon moissanite engagement ring offers more than eye-catching beauty. Here are some key advantages that make it a wise investment:
