Marquise-Cut Diamond Guide: Quality, Clarity, Colour and Cost
Marquise Diamonds Throughout the Years
The very first charming Marquise cut diamond dates backward to 18th century France. King Louis XV requested superior jewellers to cut diamonds to mirror the lips of his beloved, Marquise de Pompadour.
The Marquise cut diamond owes its brilliance to the 58 facets found its pavilion and crown. The correctness of each element gives an extensive shining and glow. The Marquise cut’s brilliance is outdone only by the brilliant round cut.
They are pretty limited! In fact, at the time of reporting, only 1.5% of diamonds possible for sale in Australia were Marquise. This causes the Marquise cut a great option for an engagement ring that shines with glow and luminosity.
No GIA cut quality grades for Marquise diamonds
Marquise diamonds are designed with a changed brilliant-cut facet ornament for both the pavilion and crown, providing this diamond with its great radiance (the volume of white ray returned to the optic or ‘sparkle’).Â
For shade, we advise an H or better. For clarity, we propose an SI1 or an SI2. When it comes to Cut class, we suggest exploring the support of a GS Diamonds specialist to ensure you end up with an excellent diamond at a wonderful price.
Regrettably, the GIA doesn’t rate the cut state of Marquise cut diamonds, suggesting this is something you’ll necessitate to examine yourself with a watchful focus.
