Diamonique is a type of simulated diamond and is the brand name used by QVC shopping network. In other words, it is sold exclusively by QVC, although secondhand products are sold by other websites.
This stone belongs to the category of Cubic Zirconia (CZ). It is considered as a cheaper substitute for real diamonds since they can be bought for a few dollars as compared to real diamonds costing thousands of dollars. Like the real ones, Diamonique diamonds also come in different cuts and shapes including round, cushion, radiant etc.
Real diamonds are considered as the hardest gemstone and measure 10 on Moh’s scale. (Moh’s scale is used for measurement of hardness of a gemstone.) Similarly, Diamonique diamond measure 8.5 which are similar to natural sapphire and ruby gemstones and are marginally less hard as compared to real diamonds. Hence hardness is one of the positive traits of Diamonique diamonds.
Weight of Diamonique diamonds is more than that of real ones. So when real and these diamonds of same size/carat are weighed, the real diamonds will be lighter hence distinguishing them from each other.

Diamonique diamonds are also available in an extensive range of fancy colors hence giving buyers a wider option of such diamonds.
To determine the quality of these diamonds, QVC provides detailed information about its 6Cs. In addition to the 4Cs –Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat, QVC considers Cost and Confidence of the diamond. Cost indicates that the stone is available at a fraction of cost than the real one and Confidence assures that the fact that it is a simulated diamond cannot be determined by untrained eye since it is set in precious metal.
