A half moon cut gemstone is shaped like a half-moon or a crescent. It's a popular cut for diamonds and other precious stones, often used as a creative side or center stone in engagement rings or other jewelry. The cut features a flat bottom with a curved or arched top that resembles the shape of a half-moon. The number of facets and the positioning of each facet can vary, affecting the brilliance and fire of the gemstone. A well-cut half moon-shaped gemstone will have a symmetrical outline and good proportions, with no bulges or irregularities. This cut is known for its versatility, as it can be used to complement a variety of other gemstone cuts and shapes.
