Oval Cluster (composed of multiple Round Brilliant cuts)
Overall Assessment
This is a classic 'illusion' or cluster ring featuring multiple round brilliant diamonds arranged to form an oval shape, surrounded by a halo. It offers significant finger coverage and high sparkle for its price point.
Cut Quality
Good (as a composite setting)
Brilliance
High due to multiple reflecting surfaces in the cluster
Fire
Moderate; dispersion is broken up by the multiple small stones
Scintillation
High; creates a 'crushed ice' sparkle effect typical of clusters
Proportions
N/A (requires individual stone measurement; standard multi-stone setting)
Symmetry
Good (symmetrical layout of small stones)
Polish
Good
Fluorescence
None visible under ambient lighting
Inclusions
Possible small crystals or clouds; hidden by composite reflections
Blemishes
None visible to the naked eye
Origin
Likely mined (Natural)
Treatment Detection
None visible; standard commercial clarity
Estimated Value
$800 - $1,500 (Retail secondary market)
Certification Estimate
Retailer certificate or IGI (unlikely to have GIA for small individual stones)
Investment Potential
Low (cluster rings typically have lower resale value than single solitaires)
Similar Diamonds
Oval halo rings; composite illusion rings
Setting Suggestions
Currently in a halo setting with a pavé band; White Gold or Platinum is ideal
Care & Maintenance
Ultrasonic cleaning is recommended; ensure prongs are checked regularly as many small stones increase loss risk
Interesting Facts
Cluster settings are designed to mimic the appearance of a much larger single stone at a fraction of the cost
