Shape
Oval Brilliant
Overall Assessment
This is a decorative gemstone simulant, most likely Cubic Zirconia or synthetic quartz, designed to mimic the appearance of a rare purple diamond. It serves as an attractive fashion accessory rather than a high-value investment gemstone.
Cut Quality
Fair (Proportions appear deep)
Brilliance
Moderate (Lower light return expected than natural diamond)
Fire
Low to moderate (Displays some spectrum colors but lacks diamond dispersion)
Scintillation
Standard sparkle pattern for an oval simulant
Proportions
Deep pavilion with a standard table size; typical of simulants to maximize color
Symmetry
Good (Facet alignment shows some variation)
Polish
Good (Slight surface abrasions visible on facet edges)
Fluorescence
Inert (Not observable under standard lighting)
Inclusions
None visible to the naked eye; suggests a lab-grown simulant rather than a natural gemstone
Blemishes
Minor surface abrasions on the crown facets and facet junctions
Origin
Laboratory-manufactured (Synthetic)
Treatment Detection
Likely colored by chemical dopants during synthesis
Estimated Value
$20 - $100 USD (Fashion jewelry value)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to be graded by gemstone labs (GIA, IGI) as a diamond; would be identified as a simulant
Investment Potential
Low; fashion piece with minimal resale value
Similar Diamonds
Natural Fancy Deep Purple Diamonds (Extremely rare and valued in the millions)
Setting Suggestions
Simple 4-prong pendant in base metal or silver-tone plating
Care & Maintenance
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals to preserve metal plating
