Overall Assessment
The stone displays high clarity and color but the facet sharpness and light performance suggest it is more likely a high-quality stimulant like CZ rather than a natural diamond.
Cut Quality
Good
Brilliance
Very High; however, light return appears somewhat 'sleepy' compared to natural diamond.
Fire
High; notable spectral dispersion visible on the right crown facets.
Scintillation
Strong, blocky light patterns.
Proportions
Deep pavilions, large table facet characteristic of radiant modified brilliants.
Symmetry
Very Good
Polish
Excellent
Fluorescence
None
Inclusions
No internal inclusions visible to the naked eye; suggests synthetic nature.
Blemishes
Slight rounding on facet junctions, common in softer stimulants.
Origin
Synthetic / Laboratory produced.
Treatment Detection
None visible; appears to be a manufactured crystal.
Estimated Value
$20 - $200 (if simulant); $1,500 - $3,000 (if high-quality lab-grown).
Certification Estimate
Likely uncertified or GIA/IGI if lab-grown, however, appearance suggests a simulant.
Investment Potential
Low; stimulants and large lab-grown stones do not hold resale value like natural stones.
Similar Diamonds
Classic 'Ice' crushed-glass radiant cuts often used in fashion jewelry.
Setting Suggestions
A 4-prong solitaire setting in 14k White Gold or Platinum to highlight the colorless nature.
Care & Maintenance
Ultrasonic cleaner safe if it is a stone, but use mild soap and water to avoid film buildup.
Interesting Facts
The Radiant cut was the first square shape to have a complete brilliant facet pattern on both the crown and pavilion.
