Synthetic Simulant (likely Moissanite or high-dispersion crystal due to rainbow flash)
Synthetic Simulant (likely Moissanite or high-dispersion crystal due to rainbow flash) · Cushion Brilliant
Fair to Good Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.50 - 2.00 carats
Color
Near Colorless (G-H equivalent)
Clarity
VS2 - SI1 (based on visible internal reflections and pattern)
Shape
Cushion Brilliant
Overall Assessment
The stone shows optical properties highly consistent with a lab-created moissanite rather than a natural diamond, characterized by extreme fire and double refraction.
Cut Quality
Fair to Good
Brilliance
High (appears very bright against the dark background)
Fire
Very High (exhibits significant rainbow-colored spectral dispersion)
Scintillation
Moderate (fragmented light patterns)
Proportions
High crown with a deep pavilion, contributing to the intense light dispersion observed.
Symmetry
Fair (uneven facet alignment visible)
Polish
Good
Fluorescence
Inconclusive from image; shows high dispersion
Inclusions
Visible internal fracture-like patterns and double refraction lines characteristic of synthetic simulants.
Blemishes
Possible surface abrasions visible on the table facets.
Origin
Synthetic/Laboratory manufactured
Treatment Detection
No obvious secondary treatments; inherent material properties suggest simulant.
Estimated Value
$50 - $300 (assuming synthetic simulant/moissanite)
Certification Estimate
Likely uncertified or graded by secondary labs (IGI or GRA for moissanite)
Investment Potential
Low (simulants typically do not hold resale value like natural diamonds)
Similar Diamonds
Equivalent to Forever One Moissanite or high-quality cubic zirconia.
Setting Suggestions
Prong setting in white gold or platinum to enhance its brightness.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush; avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners if fractures are present.
Interesting Facts
The intense 'disco ball' effect or rainbow fire is much higher than a natural diamond, a hallmark of moissanite.
