Estimated Value
$50 - $150 (as part of a secondary market jewelry piece)
Certification Estimate
Likely non-certified due to size; GIA or IGI would grade as melee

Similar Diamonds
Standard commercial white melee diamonds used in multi-stone rings
Setting Suggestions
Current yellow gold floral cluster setting is appropriate; would also suit a pave band
Care & Maintenance
