- Accessibility — a luxurious look without a high cost, ideal for gift sets.
- Many colours and cuts — classic clear, champagne, pink, blue and other shades.

Frequently asked questions
How similar is it to a diamond?
It is visually very similar, with high clarity and brilliance. Its substantially lower price makes it popular for everyday collections.
Is it suitable for daily wear?
Yes, when worn with care. A hardness of 8–8.5 gives good scratch resistance, but the stone should be protected from impacts and chemicals.
