Likely Simulated (Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite)
Likely Simulated (Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite) · Radiant Cut
Good (symmetry appears slightly off in the facet junctions) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.00 - 2.50 carats
Color
Estimated I-J (shows warm yellowish undertones)
Clarity
Estimated VS1 - VS2 (visually clear but with surface reflections)
Shape
Radiant Cut
Overall Assessment
A bright, high-dispersion radiant cut stone that displays the 'crushed ice' look. Due to the intense rainbow fire and color warmth, it is most likely a high-quality stimulant rather than a natural earth-mined diamond.
Cut Quality
Good (symmetry appears slightly off in the facet junctions)
Brilliance
High (exhibits strong light return)
Fire
High (shows significant rainbow dispersion, characteristic of stimulants)
Scintillation
High (crushed ice effect typical of radiant cuts)
Proportions
Table appears slightly large (approx 68-70%); depth seems moderate
Symmetry
Good
Polish
Very Good
Fluorescence
Indeterminable from photo
Inclusions
No distinct internal crystals visible at this magnification
Blemishes
Minor surface dust and potential light abrasion on facet edges
Origin
Likely synthetic/manufactured
Treatment Detection
None visible; high dispersion suggests non-diamond material
Estimated Value
$50 - $400 (if stimulant/CZ) or $1,200 - $2,500 (if lab-grown)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to have GIA; could be certified by local appraisal or IGI if lab-grown
Investment Potential
Low (likely a fashion or decorative stone rather than a commodity)
Similar Diamonds
Crushed-ice radiant cut moissanite or high-grade CZ
Setting Suggestions
Prong setting in 14k white gold or platinum to enhance brightness
Care & Maintenance
Clean with mild soap and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals
