There is a difference in hardness. Moissanite is 9+ on the Mohs scale and cubic zirconia is 8. If you wear your jewelry often you may notice that over the years the cz will not seem as shiny over time. Moissanite never loses it's brilliance. The only other hard gem is a diamond at 10 on the scale. Report Inappropriate Content.
The Composition and Cubic Zirconia are different; diamond is composed of carbon, and CZ is composed of crystals, making a big difference. The weight of a diamond is heavier than Cubic Zirconia, CZ is 2.6g/cm3, and diamond is 3.52g/cm3. This makes the diamond denser than Cubic Zirconia. Shape. Diamonds are measured in 4Cs (Cut, Color, ClarityOrigins and Composition: Diamonique: Diamonique is a brand of simulated diamonds created by QVC. We’ll explore the history of Diamonique, its manufacturing process, and the materials used to mimic the brilliance of real diamonds. Cubic Zirconia: Cubic zirconia, on the other hand, is a synthetic crystalline substance widely used as a diamond
Moissanite has a higher refractive index than cubic zirconia. The refractive index tells us the measurement of how fast light is bent when it goes into the gemstone and bends out. Moissanite measures around 2.65. Cubic zirconia's refractive index is 2.15. This means that moissanite has more rainbow light.
