1. Refraction: With cubic zirconia, there is a rainbow of colors in a prism effect because it disperses light more than diamonds do. With diamonds you see pure white when it reflects sunlight.
2. Texture: Diamonds are much harder and clean cut than cubic zirconia. Interestingly, cubic zirconia will be more “flawless” in appearance than real diamonds. CZ is made made and as such is made without flaws. Diamonds are natural and contain flaws.
3. Heat Resistance: Diamonds are much more resistant to heat, whereas if cubic zirconia is exposed to high heat, it can shatter.
4. Price: Cubic zirconia is generally much less expensive for sames sized stones.
