Potential Diamond Simulant (CZ or Moissanite suspect based on visual dispersion)
Potential Diamond Simulant (CZ or Moissanite suspect based on visual dispersion) · Radiant Cut (Rectangular Modified Brilliant)
Good Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.50 - 3.50 carats
Color
D - E (Colorless)
Clarity
VS1 - VS2 (Appears relatively eye-clean with minor internal reflections)
Shape
Radiant Cut (Rectangular Modified Brilliant)
Overall Assessment
The stone shows high dispersion (fire) and high-contrast scintillation. The facet edges and clarity of the material suggest it may be a high-quality stimulant such as Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite rather than a natural diamond, though professional testing is required.
Cut Quality
Good
Brilliance
High (Strong white light return)
Fire
Very High (Distinct rainbow spectral colors visible at facet edges)
Scintillation
Moderate (Blocky light patterns)
Proportions
High crown, shallow-to-medium pavilion depth, large table facet
Symmetry
Good (Facet junctions appear slightly rounded for a natural diamond)
Polish
Good
Fluorescence
None observable under ambient lighting
Inclusions
Difficult to determine via photo, possible internal graining or pinpoints
Blemishes
Minor surface abrasions consistent with softer materials like CZ
Origin
Likely synthetic/manufactured based on high dispersion-to-depth ratio
Treatment Detection
Unable to detect via image alone; suspect synthetic origin
Estimated Value
$50 - $100 if CZ; $800+ if Moissanite; $15,000+ if Natural Diamond
Certification Estimate
Likely GIA or IGI if natural/lab; many simulants remain uncertified
Investment Potential
Low (If simulant); High (If high-grade natural diamond)
Similar Diamonds
Crushed Ice Radiant Cut Diamonds
Setting Suggestions
Four-prong or six-prong solitaire setting in Platinum or 14k White Gold
Care & Maintenance
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals
Interesting Facts
The Radiant cut was the first rectangular cut to have a complete brilliant-cut facet pattern applied to both the crown and pavilion.
