Which is better for everyday wear?

The 6mm tennis chain. It is lighter and slimmer, so it sits closer and draws less attention. The 13mm Cuban is heavy and bold, better for occasional statement wear.

Which looks more like real diamonds?

Both use D-color VVS1 moissanite with a 2.65 refractive index, higher than diamond's 2.42, and both pass most handheld diamond testers. Sparkle is comparable; the difference is style, not stone quality.

Both use 18K plating with PVD reinforcement and carry a lifetime warranty, but buyers of both report tarnish and finish flaking. The Cuban has far more ratings and a slightly higher score, which is the better durability signal of the two.

Is the Cuban worth the extra?

Only if you want the width. You pay for more metal and more stones. If you want a subtle chain, the 6mm tennis gives the same stone grade for less material.

Do either turn skin green?

Buyers of both report it. The Cuban reviews mention skin turning green within a day and finish coming off; the tennis reviews mention tarnish and allergic reactions. Neither is a solid-gold piece.

6mm Moissanite Tennis Chain - Silver - D Color - VVS1 vs 13mm Moissanite Cuban Chain - 18k Gold - D COLOR - VVS1

Both are Adamans moissanite chains with D-color VVS1 stones and a lifetime warranty, so the real choice is style and width. The 6mm tennis chain is the subtler, lighter option; the 13mm Cuban is a bold statement piece at more than double the width.
