Moissanite Grades Explained: Color, Clarity & Cut

"D-color, VVS, GRA certified" — moissanite listings are full of shorthand, and it actually matters. Here's what each grade means in plain English, so you can tell a genuinely good stone from a padded description.

Moissanite color uses the same D-to-Z scale as diamonds, where D is completely colorless and the letters climb toward faint yellow. D, E, and F are the colorless top tier. Every Airwaves stone is D — the best grade — so there's no warm tint pulling down the sparkle.

Clarity measures tiny internal marks. VVS (very, very slightly included) means any inclusions are invisible to the naked eye — you'd need magnification to find them. Our stones are eye-clean, so what you see is pure fire, not flaws.

Cut is the one humans control, and it matters most. A well-cut stone bounces light back at your eye; a poorly cut one leaks it. Moissanite's high refractive index means a good cut absolutely blazes — which is why we care about proportions, not just carat weight.

Your GRA report lists all of it — color (D), clarity, cut, carat, dimensions, and a unique report number. It's the paper trail that turns "trust me" into "here it is in writing," and it ships in the box with every moissanite piece.
