Marquise Diamonds in Dubai UAE

carat

Carat weight can appear differently across different diamond shapes such as round brilliant, princess, pear, oval, cushion, marquise, emerald, radiant or heart. A diamond may have a higher carat weight without appearing larger and two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. In other words, it is important to note that carat weight does not necessarily denote size.

This is especially true for the marquise cut as its long and narrow shape creates an illusion of greater size than other shapes of the same carat weight. It is also observed that the marquise’s long and narrow shape makes the wearer’s fingers appear thinner

color

Color refers to the natural tint inherent in white diamonds. In nature, most white diamonds have a slight tint of yellow. The closer to being “colorless” a diamond is, the rarer it is. The industry standard for grading color is to evaluate each diamond against a master set and assign a letter grade from “D” (colorless) to “Z” (light yellow).

Marquise diamonds tend to show more colour than the traditional round or cushion diamond, especially at the endpoints of the diamond due to the marquise having less depth at its tips. In other words, a marquise diamond graded as a G colour will look closer to an H colour round diamond. Hence, because the marquise diamond tends to appear darker, when buying a marquise diamond it is important to choose a colour grade higher than you would normally choose.

clarity

Diamond clarity is a measure of the purity and rarity of the diamond, graded by the visibility of these characteristics under 10-power magnification. A diamond is graded as flawless if, under 10-power magnification, no inclusions (internal flaws) and no blemishes (external imperfections) are visible.

Choosing the clarity of the diamond for your ring is entirely down to personal preference. Some buyers are entirely indifferent to inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye and some buyers are interested in diamonds that are completely or near flawless.

Additionally, when buying and designing a ring for your marquise diamond, we highly recommend creating a design where the points of the marquise are covered in order to prevent any forms of chipping or cracking. Another unique advantage with buying a design where the points are covered is that, if there are any inclusions on the pointed ends they will be covered by the prongs

Why is the polish for a Marquise Diamond important?

The diamond polish refers to the finish done on the marquise diamond’s surface after it has been cut. The facets of the cut diamond are polished so that it reflects and refracts the optimal amount of light.

Why is the Symmetry for a Marquise Diamond important?

We highly recommend purchasing a marquise diamond with only an excellent or very good grade for symmetry. This is because symmetry plays a key role in the beauty of the marquise stone as an asymmetrical marquise diamond is a lot easier to spot than most other diamond shapes

For a marquise diamond to look symmetrical;

1. the two endpoints should align with each other; and

2. the right and left sides should form a near mirror image.

If there is even a slight misalignment in these points, then you will have a skewed looking marquise diamond. Therefore it is imperative to buy a marquise diamond with a strong symmetry grading

The role of Fluorescence in a Marquise Diamond

Fluorescence is the propensity of a marquise cut diamond to emanate a (soft) glow when presented to Ultraviolet light (UV light). At the point when UV light hits a marquise diamond with fluorescent properties, the diamond emanates a glow. Regularly blue, it can likewise be shades of green, yellow, white or red. Fluorescence can happen in various forces. Gemological labs like the GIA rate diamond fluorescence on a scale from "None" to "Very Strong".
