Shape
The marquise cut, somewhat similar to oval and pear shaped diamonds, has pointed ends and elegant, curved sides. It is the diamond shape with the largest surface area of all popular cuts, which means that you can find a larger-looking diamond for the same value.
The marquise cut diamond is a great choice for an engagement ring if you are looking for a diamond that will elongate your finger. King Louis XIV of France, who wanted a new diamond shape for the woman he loved – Marquise de Pompadour - commissioned the marquise cut. It is said that he wanted the diamond to be reminiscent of her smile. Because of this, the marquise shape has very romantic connotations.
If you are looking to make your marquise cut diamond appear larger, try a halo setting. Or let this unique cut stand out in a solitaire setting.
Because the marquise cut diamond has pointed ends, it is prone to chipping. Be sure to choose a setting that will protect the pointed ends.
Clarity
undefined diamonds have slight inclusions visible under 10x magnification (SI stands for slightly included). For Marquise Cut diamonds, you will probably notice some imperfections even to the naked eye. Make sure to look at your diamond's imagery to determine if it's eye clean or chat with a specialist to discuss your diamond.
Lab Grown Diamonds
Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds that are created in the lab instead of deep inside the earth's crust. They are physically, chemically, and visually identical to earth grown diamonds and are indistinguishable even by a trained gemologist.
The only difference between lab grown diamonds and earth grown diamonds is how they were created. Earth grown diamonds are created under high pressure and temperature deep under the earth's surface, while lab grown diamonds are created under high pressure and temperature(HPHT) in a lab
Lab grown diamonds are typically between 30 and 50 percent cheaper than earth grown diamonds! Therefore they have become a very popular choice for engagement ring, since you can get a bigger size diamond for your budget.
