Likely Diamond Simulant (e.g., Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite)
Likely Diamond Simulant (e.g., Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite) · Princess Cut (Square Modified Brilliant)
Good (Facet edges appear slightly rounded) Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.5 - 2.5 carats based on visual proportions
Color
D-E (Colorless appearance with high blue/violet overtone)
Clarity
VS1 - VVS2 (No eye-visible inclusions detected in photo)
Shape
Princess Cut (Square Modified Brilliant)
Overall Assessment
This appears to be a square-cut synthetic simulant, likely Cubic Zirconia, characterized by extreme colorlessness and high dispersion (fire). It lacks the sharp facet junctions and depth of brilliance typically found in high-quality natural diamonds.
Cut Quality
Good (Facet edges appear slightly rounded)
Brilliance
Moderate; appears slightly glassy compared to natural diamond
Fire
High (Strong rainbow/spectral dispersion suggests a high refractive index)
Scintillation
Dynamic; localized flashes of color across the table
Proportions
High crown; table approximately 65-70%; deep pavilion
Symmetry
Fair to Good (Visible misalignment in pavilion main facets)
Polish
Good (Surface shows high luster but subtle blurring)
Fluorescence
N/A (Displayed blue tint may be due to lighting/dispersion rather than UV reaction)
Inclusions
None visible at current resolution; appearance is extremely clean
Blemishes
Minor surface abrasions consistent with softer simulant material
Origin
Synthetic (Lab-manufactured simulant)
Treatment Detection
N/A for simulants; high light dispersion is a characteristic of the material itself
Estimated Value
$10 - $100 (if a simulant like CZ); higher if Lab-Grown Diamond but visual cues suggest simulant
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to receive GIA Natural Diamond report; likely a decorative grade simulant
Investment Potential
None; purely decorative/fashion value
Similar Diamonds
Standard Princess Cut Cubic Zirconia or high-dispersion Moissanite
Setting Suggestions
Four-prong cathedral setting in Sterling Silver or 14k White Gold
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh chemicals; clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush
