Round Cut Gemstone Appraisal

Faceted Round Brilliant Cut Yellow Gemstone

This is a single, loose, faceted gemstone, exhibiting a distinct round brilliant cut. The stone displays a soft, appealing light yellow to champagne color across its body, indicating a possible fancy color diamond or a yellow variety of another gemstone, such as a sapphire or quartz. Its precise faceting, characteristic of the modern brilliant cut, is designed to enhance its brilliance and sparkle, with light appearing to return effectively from its pavilion through the crown. The crown facets and table are well-proportioned, contributing significantly to its optical performance. The girdle, though not fully visible, appears to be consistent around the circumference. Based on the visual appearance, the gemstone seems to be of a smaller to medium size, typical for a single accent or primary stone in jewelry. It presents in excellent observed condition, appearing entirely eye-clean with no readily apparent chips, abrasions, or scratches visible on its surface or edges, which suggests careful handling or recent cutting. No major inclusions are discernible through casual observation. As a loose stone, there are no visible mounting marks or wear from being set in jewelry, nor any discernible manufacturing hallmarks or signatures on the stone itself, which is normal for a cut gemstone. While specific material identification and precise carat weight cannot be determined from the image alone, the quality of the cut and apparent clarity suggest a stone of fine commercial to high quality, likely cut within the last several decades given its modern brilliant faceting.
