Jewellery & Gemstone Appraisal
This appraisal represents my subjective opinion of the value of the item listed. All gemstones set in jewellery are examined whilst set, which makes it difficult to assess the nature and identification of all stones, the weight of all stones, any inclusions in coloured gemstones which assist in their correct identification and the clarity and colour of diamonds.
In the event that test cannot be performed or result obtained because of the setting and / or cleanliness, we shall not be held liable for any harm or damage whatsoever. Any treatment that is identified that does not duplicate a natural process will be disclosed under comments.
CD Designs
We can assist you with setting this stone in available designs from CD Designs, alternatively we can Design & CAD to your specific requirements.
"A new diamond imitation, synthetic moissanite (silicon carbide), is now being produced by C3 Inc*. in near-colorless form for jewelry purposes. With refractive indices of 2.648 and 2.691, a dispersion of 0.104, a hardness of 9¼ on the Mohs scale, and a specific gravity of 3.22, synthetic moissanite is much closer to diamond in overall appearance and heft than any previous diamond imitation. The thermal properties of synthetic moissanite are also so close to those of diamond that the thermal probes currently on the market react to synthetic moissanite as if it were diamond. This new material can be readily separated from diamond on the basis of its anisotropic optical character, which produces a doubling in the appearance of facet junctions. A new instrument manufactured by C3 Inc. solely to distinguish synthetic moissanite from diamond was also examined for this study."
*C3 Inc is now known as Charles & Colvard
