Plus cubics are man made, where as diamonds are naturally formed. BUT, there is such a thing as man made diamonds (synthetic diamonds) but they can only make them in a size of around 1/4 carats, so nothing to worry about yet.

:P
Hardness has nothing to do with it since synthesized can be/is used for industrial application. For bling bling hardness doesn't matter. They expensive cuz you want to pay for them
