First of all, we should first understand the rating standards of moissanite, because it is helpful to distinguish the quality of moissanite. Therefore, if we want to judge the "4C" rating standard of moissanite, we must first understand what items it includes. The so-called "4C" is the abbreviation of the four English words beginning with C, which refers to the carat weight, clarity, color and cut of moissanite. Based on the above knowledge, the price of moissanite is equal to weight + Color + clarity + cut.
