Solid S925 Silver
Genuine sterling silver forms the foundation of our silver pieces, chosen for its feel, finish and enduring place in jewellery.
MADE TO LAST
Why Moissanite? More fire than diamond.
Chosen for its unmistakable brilliance, exceptional clarity and everyday durability. Moissanite disperses more spectral light than diamond, creating vivid flashes of colour with every movement.

Moissanite vs.Cubic Zirconia.Why we choose Moissanite.
Both can look beautifully clear when new. They are not the same material. We choose Moissanite because its greater hardness, higher refractive index and greater dispersion better match the standard we want for jewellery designed to be worn regularly.

- 0.104Dispersion

01 · Why we chose it
More than just sparkle.
We didn't choose Moissanite simply because it catches the light beautifully. We wanted a stone with strong everyday hardness and an optical character you can actually notice when jewellery moves.
We compared the materials, looked at their published gemological properties and selected the one that better matched what we wanted ELLA EVA jewellery to feel like: considered, bright and made for regular wear.

03
Harder than CZ
Greater resistance to surface scratching during wear.
Greater dispersion
Stronger separation of white light into spectral colour.
Higher refractive index
A distinctly different interaction with light.

Read comparison notes
Moissanite and Cubic Zirconia can both look bright and clear, but they are different materials. Published gemological data places synthetic Moissanite at approximately 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, compared with around 8 to 8.5 for cubic zirconia.
Moissanite also has a higher published dispersion value — approximately 0.104 compared with around 0.058 to 0.066 for CZ — and a higher refractive index. These measurable differences help explain why the materials behave differently with light and why ELLA EVA selected Moissanite for our current stone specification.
Video transcript: when the final studio video is published, these comparison notes should be replaced with its verbatim accessible transcript.
03 · Side by side
The difference in plain English.
The numbers matter, but only if they help you understand what you are actually buying.
Mohs scale
Hardness
- Cubic Zirconia
- 8–8.5Hard and wearable
- ✦ Moissanite
- 9.25Greater scratch resistance
Moissanite is harder than CZ, giving it greater resistance to surface scratching during wear.
Dispersion
Spectral fire
- Cubic Zirconia
- 0.058–0.066Visible spectral colour
- ✦ Moissanite
- 0.104Greater dispersion
Dispersion describes how strongly white light separates into spectral colour — the physical property behind gemstone fire.
Refractive index
Light response
- Cubic Zirconia
- 2.15–2.18Lower refractive index
- ✦ Moissanite
- 2.648–2.691Higher refractive index
Refractive index describes how strongly light bends as it passes through the material.

04 · Real-wear evidence
Day 1. Then Day 60.
Published data explains the materials. Our wear diary will document what we actually observe in everyday use.

This is an ELLA EVA comparative wear diary, not a peer-reviewed laboratory durability study.
05 · A real-person reaction
Science first. Then a human view.
After the technical evidence and wear diary, a short creator clip answers a different question: what does a normal jewellery wearer actually notice when they see and wear the piece?

A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE
What does someone actually notice?
The creator clip is deliberately different from the technical comparison: it captures a genuine first impression, movement on the body and how the piece feels to wear.
01
First impression when the piece is opened.
02
How the stone catches light as it moves.
03
How the jewellery feels when worn.
04
Anything that surprised the wearer in person.

06 · We asked our community
Which would you choose?
Gemology tells us how the stones differ. Preference is personal, so we also ask jewellery buyers directly.
“If two pieces looked similar, which stone would you rather receive?”

07 · Environmental context
What about sustainability?
We would rather be precise than manufacture a green claim that the available evidence cannot support.
Moissanite
- Lab-created gemstone
- The gemstone is not extracted through gemstone mining
- Laboratory manufacturing requires energy
Cubic Zirconia
- Manufactured material
- The finished gemstone is not gem-mined
- Industrial manufacturing requires energy
Mined gemstones
- Gemstone extraction is required
- Processing and transport are required
- Impact varies by stone, source and operation
08 · Quick answers
The questions we'd ask too.
Clear answers, with the important information visible in the page rather than hidden behind interactions.
Is Moissanite harder than Cubic Zirconia?
Yes. Published values place synthetic Moissanite at approximately 9.25 Mohs compared with around 8–8.5 for cubic zirconia.
Does Moissanite have more fire than CZ?
Moissanite has the higher published dispersion value: approximately 0.104 versus around 0.058–0.066 for CZ.
Does ELLA EVA use Cubic Zirconia?
Our current selected stone specification uses Moissanite rather than Cubic Zirconia.
Is Moissanite more sustainable than CZ?
We do not currently make that blanket claim. Both are manufactured materials, and a meaningful comparison needs comparable lifecycle data.
