Likely Non-Diamond (Simulant such as Cubic Zirconia or Quartz/Glass)
Likely Non-Diamond (Simulant such as Cubic Zirconia or Quartz/Glass) · Round Rose Cut or Flat-Topped Round Cut
Fair to Poor (appears to have a very shallow or flat crown) Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.5 - 2.0 carats (based on finger coverage)
Color
Near Colorless to Faint Gray (G-I range equivalent)
Clarity
Translucent to SI range (visible internal cloudiness and lack of refraction)
Shape
Round Rose Cut or Flat-Topped Round Cut
Overall Assessment
This stone lacks the optical properties (refractive index, brilliance, and fire) of a natural or lab-grown diamond. It presents as a translucent simulant or semi-precious stone set in a fashion-style ring.
Cut Quality
Fair to Poor (appears to have a very shallow or flat crown)
Brilliance
Low (lacks the high refractive index and internal light return of a true diamond)
Fire
Low (minimal spectral color dispersion visible)
Scintillation
Low (lack of high-contrast sparkle)
Proportions
Shallow depth, wide table, low crown height
Symmetry
Fair (prongs appear slightly misplaced and stone alignment is uneven)
Polish
Fair (surfaces show some dullness or lack of crisp facet edges)
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined without UV light
Inclusions
Visible cloudiness and hazy internal texture
Blemishes
Surface abrasions possible on facet edges
Origin
Synthetic/Manufactured (Simulant)
Treatment Detection
No obvious high-pressure treatments; material itself appears to be a simulant
Estimated Value
$10 - $100 USD (based on appearance of a costume jewellery simulant)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to be graded by GIA/AGS as a diamond; would potentially be labeled as 'Simulant' by IGI
Investment Potential
Very Low to None (decorative value only)
Similar Diamonds
Rose-cut salt and pepper diamonds or low-grade white zircons
Setting Suggestions
The current rose-gold tone multi-stone setting is appropriate for decorative wear
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, as stimulants can be more porous or prone to surface damage than diamonds
Interesting Facts
The stone's flat top and internal milkiness are characteristic of 'rose cut' styles which were popular in the 16th century but are now common in fashion jewellery
