Nova Cushion — GRA Graded Moissanite Ring in Sterling Silver

Description

A nova is a star that suddenly burns brighter than it has any right to. The cushion cut was chosen for this ring because it does the same thing — soft corners, large facets, and a warmth of light that other cuts simply do not have.

The Nova Cushion Moissanite Ring by Nuraan features a 1/2-carat cushion-cut moissanite in D colour, VVS1 clarity at the centre, surrounded by 1.75mm moissanite accent stones set along the band. The result is a ring where the brilliance does not end at the centre stone — it continues outward in both directions, creating a continuous field of light across the finger. Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating. GRA certified. Rs. 19,500. Made to order in Karachi by Nuraan, third generation jewellers since 1947.

The cushion cut — soft corners, serious fire

The cushion cut is the oldest of the modern fancy cuts — its rounded corners and large, curved facets were perfected in the 19th century, long before round brilliants became the default. Where a round brilliant produces crisp, rapid-fire sparkle, a cushion cut produces something warmer and more diffuse — slower flashes of light that seem to glow from inside the stone rather than reflecting off its surface. This quality of light is described as fire rather than brilliance — it is colour-forward, catching warm tones from ambient light that cooler cuts miss entirely. The cushion cut’s romantic character is not accidental. It was built into the shape over two centuries of refinement, and it is why cushion cuts remain one of the most requested shapes for engagement rings worldwide.

The accent stones — why they matter

Most moissanite solitaire rings let the centre stone carry the entire visual weight of the piece. The Nova takes a different approach. The 1.75mm moissanite accent stones set along the band on either side of the centre stone do something specific: they extend the sparkle outward from the centre, so that when the hand moves, the light does not stop at the edge of the cushion cut but continues in both directions across the band. The centre stone is not isolated. It is amplified. The accent stones are small enough that they do not compete with the 1-2-carat cushion cut — they frame it, lead the eye toward it, and make the entire top surface of the ring a single continuous field of brilliant white light. 

The Nova name

A nova is an astronomical event — a star that suddenly increases in brightness by a factor of hundreds or thousands, visible across the night sky where nothing was visible before. The name fits the cushion cut’s quality of light: not the crisp, geometric flash of a princess cut or the still depth of an emerald cut, but something that ignites suddenly and fills the space around it with warmth. This ring was made for the person who burns that way — who is not always the loudest person in the room, but who, at the right moment, makes every other light seem dimmer.

Care instructions

Store in the Nuraan box when not wearing. Apply perfume and lotion before putting the ring on. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after each wear. Keep away from pools and harsh chemicals. Nuraan’s lifetime rhodium replating guarantee covers the finish for life at no charge.

Frequently asked questions

Is the cushion cut the same as a round brilliant?

No. A round brilliant is circular with precisely calculated facets for maximum light return. A cushion cut is square-to-rectangular with rounded corners and larger, curved facets that produce a warmer, more diffuse brilliance — more glow than flash. The cushion cut is the more romantic of the two shapes, and its light character is distinctly different from a round brilliant’s crisp sparkle.

Is the GRA grading card included?

Yes. The Nova Cushion Moissanite Ring is GRA certified, confirming the centre stone’s D colour and VVS1 clarity grade. 

What are the accent stones on the band?

The accent stones are 1.75mm moissanite stones set along the band on either side of the centre stone. They are the same D VVS1 grade as the centre stone — genuine moissanite, not cubic zirconia — and they extend the ring’s sparkle outward from the centre, making the full top surface of the ring brilliant rather than just the centre stone.

Is this ring suitable as an engagement ring?

Yes — and it is one of Nuraan’s most accessible engagement ring options at Rs. 19,500. The 2-carat cushion cut centre stone has significant presence on the finger, the accent band stones add visual depth, and the GRA certification confirms the quality of every stone in the ring. For buyers in Pakistan who want a moissanite engagement ring with genuine substance at a price that makes sense, the Nova is the right choice.
