Likely Moissanite or High-Quality Diamond Simulant (e.g., Cubic Zirconia)
Likely Moissanite or High-Quality Diamond Simulant (e.g., Cubic Zirconia) · Radiant Cut (Square Modified Brilliant)
Very Good (Strong pavilion faceting visible) Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.5 - 2.5 carats based on visual proportions
Color
Approximate D-E (Colorless)
Clarity
Estimated VVS2 to VS1 based on surface inspections and high transparency
Shape
Radiant Cut (Square Modified Brilliant)
Overall Assessment
An attractive, highly dispersive square radiant cut stone. The intense 'fire' or rainbow flashes on the left facet are characteristic of moissanite, providing a high-impact visual at a lower price point than natural diamond.
Cut Quality
Very Good (Strong pavilion faceting visible)
Brilliance
High (Strong white light return)
Fire
High (Exceptional spectral color dispersion visible on the left edge)
Scintillation
Intense (Busy, crushed-ice appearance typical of radiant cuts)
Proportions
Depth appears slightly deep; table percentage estimated at 65-70%
Symmetry
Good to Very Good (Even corners and facet alignment)
Polish
Good (High external luster visible)
Fluorescence
None apparent from static image
Inclusions
Small pinpoint inclusions visible under 10x magnification; potential doubling of back facets suggests moissanite
Blemishes
Minor surface abrasions consistent with handling
Origin
Likely laboratory-created given the lack of natural tint and high dispersion
Treatment Detection
Potential CVD or HPHT processing if diamond; none if simulant
Estimated Value
$100 - $500 if Moissanite/CZ; $5,000 - $15,000 if Natural Diamond
Certification Estimate
IIDGR or IGI for Lab-grown/Simulants; GIA if natural
Investment Potential
Low (Simulants and small radiant cuts generally depreciate or hold flat value)
Similar Diamonds
1.5ct Radiant Cut Lab Diamond, E, VS1
Setting Suggestions
Four-prong cathedral setting in Platinum or 14k White Gold to enhance colorless quality
Care & Maintenance
Ultrasonic cleaner safe; avoid ultrasonic if fracture-filled; clean with soft brush and mild soap
Interesting Facts
The Radiant cut was the first square cut to have a complete brilliant-cut facet pattern on both the crown and pavilion
