Likely Moissanite (based on high dispersion and double refraction visible) · Radiant Cut
Excellent (Very sharp facets and well-defined shape) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.5 to 3.0 carats (visual size on fabric)
Color
Near Colorless (G-H range)
Clarity
VS1 estimated (high clarity with minimal visible inclusions at this distance)
Shape
Radiant Cut
Overall Assessment
A high-quality synthetic gemstone, likely Moissanite, showcasing exceptional fire and a modern radiant cut. Verification with a Presidium tester is recommended.
Cut Quality
Excellent (Very sharp facets and well-defined shape)
Brilliance
Very High (Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond)
Fire
Extreme (characterized by the "disco-ball" effect with intense colorful flashes)
Scintillation
Sharp and busy, typical of a well-cut crushed-ice radiant effect
Proportions
Classic radiant proportions with a slightly elongated length-to-width ratio
Symmetry
Very Good to Excellent (even facet alignment across the crown)
Polish
Good (shows high surface luster)
Fluorescence
Inconclusive from still image (typically None for Moissanite)
Inclusions
Few needle-like inclusions typical of silicon carbide growth
Blemishes
Minor surface abrasions possible but not clearly visible
Origin
Synthetic (Lab-Created)
Treatment Detection
None apparent; likely as-grown or HPHT/CVD processed if diamond
Estimated Value
$150 - $400 if Moissanite; $1,500 - $3,000 if Lab-Grown Diamond
Certification Estimate
GRA (for moissanite) or IGI (if lab diamond); D/VVS1 commercial grades
Investment Potential
Low (synthetic gemstones and lab diamonds do not typically hold resale value well)

Setting Suggestions
A four-prong solitaire or a delicate halo in Platinum or 14k White Gold
Care & Maintenance
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush; professional ultrasound cleaning is safe
Interesting Facts
Moissanite has more fire and brilliance than a natural diamond due to a higher refractive index.
