Both cubic zirconia (CZ) and moissanite are beautiful, affordable diamond alternatives — but they serve very different purposes.

If you’re deciding between them, here’s the honest, no-fluff breakdown so you can choose confidently.

What Is Cubic Zirconia (CZ)?

Cubic zirconia is a lab-created stone designed to look like a diamond. It’s lightweight, affordable, and ideal for fashion-forward, everyday pieces.

At Veve London, we use CZ in designs meant for:

• Daily wear
  

• Travel jewelry
  

• Layering
  

• Minimalist styling
  

• Budget-conscious luxury

What Is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a premium lab-created gemstone known for its exceptional brilliance and fire.
It’s harder, more durable, and sparkles more than CZ — making it perfect for statement and long-term pieces.
