Cut Quality
Good to Very Good (Modified Brilliant faceting)
Brilliance
Moderate; exhibits characteristic dispersion over white light return
Fire
High; displays strong rainbow flashes characteristic of high-dispersion simulants
Scintillation
Standard radiant pattern with some windowing in the center

Fluorescence
None observed under visible light
Inclusions
No visible internal inclusions at this magnification; extremely clean
Blemishes
Minor surface abrasions on facet edges typical of softer simulant materials
Origin
Laboratory manufactured (likely synthetic CZ or similar glass-based simulant)
Treatment Detection
Likely color-coated or through-body dyed simulant
Estimated Value
$30 - $150 (Fashion Jewelry market value)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to be certified by GIA/AGS as a diamond; would likely be graded as a simulant if submitted
Investment Potential
Low; primarily a decorative/fashion piece with minimal resale value
Similar Diamonds
Natural Canary Diamonds or Lab-Grown Fancy Yellow Radiants
Setting Suggestions
Best kept in the current 14k-18k yellow gold-plated fashion setting to complement the yellow tone
Care & Maintenance
Clean with mild soap and warm water; avoid ultrasonic cleaners which may damage coatings
