Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

Faint fluorescence has no detectable effect on a marquise lab grown diamond in normal conditions. The brilliant sparkle overwhelms any subtle UV reaction. In warmer grades, faint fluorescence may provide barely perceptible whitening at both pointed tips. This is a mild positive for marquise shapes that concentrate warmth at two points. Faint fluorescence is functionally neutral.
Faint blue fluorescence may provide very subtle whitening at both of the marquise's pointed tips in sunlight. This is more relevant for marquise than for symmetrical shapes because the double-tip concentration makes body color slightly more visible. At faint levels the effect is minimal but works in your favor for H through J color marquise diamonds.
No. Faint fluorescence has negligible practical impact. Focus on the marquise's symmetry, bowtie quality, proportions, color, and clarity instead. Faint fluorescence is never negative and may be barely beneficial for warmer colors at both tips.
A marquise has the largest face-up area of any diamond shape at the same carat weight. With faint fluorescence, very slight blue glow under strong UV light, not visible in normal conditions. The marquise cut's dramatic elongated shape with pointed ends that maximizes perceived size creates a distinctive profile on the hand.
