Natural Diamonds (Composite Cluster)
Natural Diamonds (Composite Cluster) · Oval Cluster (comprised of multiple Round Brilliant and Marquise-cut melee)
Good; designed for maximum surface area footprint rather than individual stone precision Cut
Carat
Total Carat Weight (tcw) estimated at 0.75 - 1.25 carats; central cluster approx. 0.50 tcw
Color
H-I (Near Colorless) based on the slight warmth visible against the metal
Clarity
SI1 - SI2 range; some visible inclusions typical of multi-stone cluster settings
Shape
Oval Cluster (comprised of multiple Round Brilliant and Marquise-cut melee)
Overall Assessment
A beautiful, high-impact composite ring that uses clever gemstone placement to maximize sparkle and surface area.
Cut Quality
Good; designed for maximum surface area footprint rather than individual stone precision
Brilliance
High; the multiple facets of many small stones create a high amount of white light return
Fire
Moderate; smaller stones disperse less spectral light than a single large brilliant diamond
Scintillation
High; the 'crushed ice' look of cluster stones provides many points of sparkle
Proportions
Shallow depth typical of cluster settings to maximize face-up size
Symmetry
Good; the stones are aligned to create a cohesive oval silhouette
Polish
Very Good; the surface facets show high luster
Fluorescence
None to Faint (unable to confirm without UV light)
Inclusions
Small feathers and crystals likely present under magnification; obscured by facets
Blemishes
Minor surface scratches consistent with normal wear
Origin
Natural Earth-Mined
Treatment Detection
None visible; standard industry treatments unlikely for these sizes
Estimated Value
$1,200 - $2,500 USD depending on retail markup and metal purity
Certification Estimate
Likely GIA or IGI for the whole piece appraisal; stones too small for individual grading
Investment Potential
Low; cluster rings primarily retain value in their gold weight and aesthetic appeal rather than stone rarity
Similar Diamonds
Oval halo engagement rings or composite 'illusion' rings
Setting Suggestions
Currently in a pavé halo setting with a pavé band in white gold or platinum
Care & Maintenance
Regular professional cleaning; check prongs frequently as clusters have many points of failure
Interesting Facts
Cluster rings are designed to provide the look of a much larger 2-carat diamond at a fraction of the cost
