Likely Lab-Grown Diamond (CVD or HPHT), though Moissanite cannot be fully ruled out without thermal testing.
Likely Lab-Grown Diamond (CVD or HPHT), though Moissanite cannot be fully ruled out without thermal testing. · Radiant Cut
Very Good; the facet structure appears well-defined with decent symmetry. Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.50 to 3.50 carats based on finger scale.
Color
Estimated G-H (Near Colorless) with a slight perceptible tint, possibly due to photography lighting.
Clarity
Estimated VS1 to VS2 (Very Slightly Included); eye-clean appearance in provided resolution.
Shape
Radiant Cut
Overall Assessment
A visually impressive Radiant cut diamond with high scintillation and clarity, most likely of lab-grown origin based on its modern appearance and size.
Cut Quality
Very Good; the facet structure appears well-defined with decent symmetry.
Brilliance
High; demonstrates strong white light return across the table.
Fire
Moderate to High; visible spectral colors (blues and oranges) in the corners and facet edges.
Scintillation
High; typical 'crushed ice' look of a radiant cut provides excellent sparkle.
Proportions
Likely a 1.10 to 1.15 length-to-width ratio; proportions appear slightly deep, typical of radiant cuts.
Symmetry
Good; the corners and facet alignment appear relatively consistent.
Polish
Very Good; mirror-like reflections on the table facet.
Fluorescence
Likely None, though a faint bluish tint is visible in the corners (possible UV reaction or chromatic aberration).
Inclusions
No major internal inclusions visible to the naked eye; potential pinpoint inclusions near the pavilion facets.
Blemishes
Minor surface reaching grain lines or polishing marks possibly present, but not clearly visible.
Origin
Likely Laboratory origin (CVD) due to the size/clarity ratio common in modern synthetic diamonds.
Treatment Detection
Unable to detect via photo; lab-grown diamonds often undergo post-growth HPHT treatment to improve color.
Estimated Value
$1,800 - $3,500 if Lab-Grown; $25,000+ if Natural.
Certification Estimate
Likely IGI or GIA; estimated grade of H Color, VS1 Clarity.
Investment Potential
Low for lab-grown; Moderate for natural. Lab-grown diamonds generally do not retain resale value.
Similar Diamonds
Comparable to high-quality Asscher or Cushion cuts in terms of light performance.
Setting Suggestions
Platinum or White Gold four-prong solitaire or a pavé halo to emphasize dimensions.
Care & Maintenance
Regular cleaning with ultrasonic cleaner or mild soap and a soft brush to maintain sparkle.
Interesting Facts
The Radiant cut was the first square-shaped cut to have a complete brilliant-cut facet pattern applied to both the crown and pavilion.
