Moissanite vs. Zirconia
Both stones catch the light beautifully — the difference is in what they're made for.
Cubic Zirconia
This is the stone you reach for without thinking twice. It's bright, clear, and cut with precision, making it a natural fit for pieces you'll layer, stack, and wear on repeat. It's also the more accessible way into fine jewelry — polished and versatile, without the bigger price tag.
Moissanite
Moissanite is rarer, harder, and catches light in a way that's closer to a diamond than anything else we carry. It's a beautiful choice for pieces meant to mark something — an anniversary, a promise, a milestone. Because it's more special, moissanite pieces sit at a higher price point.
A Few Notes
- Moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones available, second only to diamond — it holds up beautifully to everyday wear.
- Cubic Zirconia is a little softer, so it's best paired with gentler handling — same as any of our pieces.
- Both are set in 925 sterling silver, with the same care and craftsmanship behind every piece.
- The right choice comes down to the piece and how you plan to wear it — not a fixed rule. Each product page tells you exactly which stone it's set with.
Whichever you choose, it's made to be worn — and loved.
