VS1 is completely reliable for a marquise. Always eye-clean. The brilliant faceting conceals VS1 inclusions effectively. VS1 is the universal safe choice that leaves budget for the tip alignment, curve symmetry, and bowtie quality that define the marquise's dramatic beauty.
VS2 is typically the better value since both are eye-clean in the marquise's brilliant faceting. Choose VS1 for extra assurance. Choose VS2 to maximize value for what matters most: a marquise with aligned tips, matching curves, and minimal bowtie. The clarity decision should come after cut-quality evaluation.
G or H complements VS1 well. The marquise's double-tip effect makes G the safer choice for white gold. H offers more value in yellow or rose gold. Both paired with VS1 deliver a marquise that looks colorless and flawless with dramatic elongated presence.
The go-to recommendation for step cuts and buyers who want guaranteed clarity. In a VS1 marquise delivers strong savings while maintaining visual perfection. The marquise cut's brilliant-cut faceting hides inclusions well, making VS1 an efficient choice.
