Which is better moissanite or cubic zirconia?

Moissanite will shine and sparkle more than cubic zirconia, because it has a higher refractive index. If you are looking for something that will stand out amongst other rings, moissanite will do the trick. It is also harder than cubic zirconia by 1 Mohs which means it is slightly more durable than cubic zirconia.
