Do you think they have the same amount of sparkle and believability? I never bought an Absolute(HSN) they do look nice. I am looking for a 1ct solitaire. Which do you  think is the better looking stone? Thanks.

I think it depends on the cut, however Victoria Wieck, and Xavier have beautiful pieces.

They are exactly the same thing, cubic zirconia, and neither is very believeable.  The only believable simulant is Moissenite.

I don't have any Absolute.  But I have a 1 ct diamonique solitare in a princess cut.  I believe it's a 100 facet stone, set in 14k gold.  I think it's absolutely beautiful (in a beautiful setting) and I have received a lot of compliments on it.

Another vote for moissanite. There's a huge difference in moissanite and CZ. Moissanite is far superior.

I have both Diamonique and Absolute. If I had to choose, it would be Absolute, but I don't see a significant difference. Maybe try a solitaire from each brand and then return the one that you don't like. As others have said, Moissanite is great, but it is also much more expensive.

You can buy loose stones also. They come in many colors blue, canary, pink.  

Many don't like the larger clear stones as they have a natural gray/yellow tint, the smaller stone are fine.  There is a new ForeverBrilliant moissanite that is not

gray/yellow and is more diamond like.

Here is the pink,  I bought a canary for a ring and love it.

I have both diamonique and absolute.  In general, if you are talking about a round stone, in 1 ct size,  both are equally good.  In other shapes,  some stones seem to be better than others.   But remember,  only diamonique has the lifetime warranty on the stone.

Consider the quality of the setting as well as the stone.

Moissanite is in a totally different price range.  And remember,  it's a man made stone also.
