Cubic Zirconia vs Diamond Table
Take a look at the table below, to see the main difference between cubic zirconia and real diamonds.
| Cubic Zirconia | Diamond | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 8.5 | 10.0 |
| Density | 5.5 “ 5.9 | 3.5 “ 3.53 |
| Dispersion | 0.058 “ 0.066 | 0.044 |

Hardness of Cubic Zirconia vs Diamond
A cz simulant is not as hard as a real diamond – and a cz gemstone can become scratched and cloudy with time (not only due to its softer physical properties but because cz stones have a tendency to absorb oils). Because of the difference in hardness, cz jewelry pieces – especially every day wear cz wedding ring sets and bands – require a lot more special care than rings and jewelry made with diamonds.
Density of Cubic Zirconia vs Diamond
The cz simulant will weigh a little more than a diamond – this added weight is only slightly noticeable between most diamond and cubic zirconia rings. Rings made with large carat cz gemstones compared to diamonds may have more of a perceptible difference in weight – but still, it is a small amount even between larger carat gemstone rings.
Dispersion and Refractive Index of CZ vs Diamond
The dispersion and refractive index properties of a gemstone affect how light passes through and reflects off the gemstone. Dispersion occurs when light passes through a gemstone and is scattered – or dispersed – contributing to the gemstone’s ‘fire’ or sparkle. The refractive index of a gemstone is the angle of light which bends as it enters a gemstone – contributing to the gemstone’s ‘brilliance.’
Each gemstone has a specific refractive index, and gemologists and jewelers can easily identify cubic zirconia from a diamond by measuring the refractive index of the stone with a refractometer.
So how do these values contribute to the differences between cz and a diamond?
Flawless Values in Cubic Zirconia vs Diamond
Cubic zirconia simulants are always flawless – while diamonds almost always have some small inclusions within their stones. A completely flawless diamond is extremely rare and extremely valuable too.
Flawlessness is another characteristic jewelers can use to identify cubic zirconia gemstones vs diamonds.
The differences in price between cubic zirconia and diamonds becomes even more significant with an increase in carat size. A mediocre 2 carat diamond will retail for around $5,000 dollars (although many medium grade 2 carat diamonds start at around $7,000 and up) whereas a 2 carat cubic zirconia simulant will retail for around $30 dollars.
The price between fancy colored diamonds and fancy colored cubic zirconia simulants is even greater. A small yellow fancy colored diamond can cost more than $11,000 dollars, but a yellow fancy cubic zirconia is around $20 dollars. If you are searching for an affordable fancy color engagement ring, a fancy cubic zirconia ring may be the perfect solution. (Yellow and pink cubic zirconia ring colors are this year’s most popular styles). Although, affordable gemstones – like aquamarine and garnet – create beautiful, long lasting wedding rings too.
