Depends on who you ask.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This appears to be a 4-5 carat radiant-cut stone with a tapered baguette on each side,&#8221; Mace Blickman of precious jewel company <a href=\"https:\/\/jerryblickman.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jerry Blickman<\/a> estimated to E! News. &#8220;It&#8217;s a very classic design.

News. &#8220;This is exactly what you would want to use to try to enhance the sparkle of a simulated diamond to make it look like the real thing. Plus, the glassy look of the very large center stone as it&#8217;s brought closer to the camera also points heavily towards it being a cubic zirconia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jewelry and style expert Lauren McCawley added, &#8220;Whether or not Ms. Mongeau&#8217;s engagement ring is real, a rectangular cushion cut center stone is always an excellent choice! However, the Kira Kira app can only add so much sparkle to a lifeless stone; this is very like a simulant (CZ) or a lab-created white sapphire, which retails around $200.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>E!
