Natural Diamond (Cluster) · Oval Cluster (comprised of multiple Round Brilliants)
Good (based on the assembly of the cluster to mimic a single large stone) Cut
Carat
Estimated total weight (TDW) is 0.75 - 1.00 carats; central stones are approximately 0.10-0.15ct each.
Color
Estimated H-I range (appears white but shows slight warmth against skin tones)
Clarity
Estimated SI1-SI2 (visible texture typical of smaller stones in cluster settings)
Shape
Oval Cluster (comprised of multiple Round Brilliants)
Overall Assessment
An attractive decorative engagement ring that uses a 'composite' techniques to achieve the look of a 2-carat oval diamond at a fraction of the cost.
Cut Quality
Good (based on the assembly of the cluster to mimic a single large stone)
Brilliance
High (multiple stones create a high amount of white light return)
Fire
Moderate (smaller stones disperse light differently than a large single table)
Scintillation
High (the cluster arrangement creates a busy, sparkling effect when moved)
Proportions
The ring features a composite head designed to maximize surface area, creating the illusion of a much larger single stone.
Symmetry
Good (the layout of the cluster is symmetrical within the oval halo)
Polish
Very Good (typical for commercial jewelry of this style)
Fluorescence
Unable to determine without UV light; likely None to Faint.
Inclusions
Likely small feathers or crystals consistent with SI clarity, obscured by the multiple facet patterns of the cluster.
Blemishes
Minor surface wear/scratches on the metal prongs visible under magnification.
Origin
Likely ethically sourced natural diamonds from various global origins (Botswana, Canada, Australia).
Treatment Detection
None detected; standard natural diamonds.
Estimated Value
$1,200 - $2,200 USD depending on metal type (likely 14k white gold) and brand.
Certification Estimate
GIA typically would not grade the individual stones in this setting; a retail appraisal is more likely.
Investment Potential
Low (cluster rings have lower resale value compared to single large solitaires).
Similar Diamonds

Setting Suggestions
The current pavé halo setting in 14k white gold is ideal for this cluster style to maximize its brilliance.
Care & Maintenance
Clean regularly with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove debris from between the small stones.
