Pick a Lab Diamond

FAQs

D color is valuable for a marquise cut lab created diamond because both pointed ends can concentrate body color, similar to a pear but at two tips instead of one. D color eliminates any concern at both points, ensuring the marquise appears ice-white from tip to tip. However, G color faces up white in most marquise cuts, so D is a premium choice rather than a necessity.
Marquise cuts can show slightly more body color at both pointed tips, where the narrow geometry concentrates whatever warmth exists. This double-tip effect makes color slightly more visible in marquise cuts than in symmetrical shapes like rounds. At D color, there is no body color to concentrate. The tip-color concern becomes relevant at near-colorless grades (G and below), especially in larger stones.
VS2 clarity pairs well with a marquise D color lab grown diamond. The marquise's brilliant faceting hides inclusions effectively. Pairing D color with VS2 maximizes color quality while keeping clarity at the practical sweet spot. Also check for minimal bowtie and good symmetry, as these cut factors matter more than clarity grade for the marquise's visual appeal.
A D marquise natural diamond looks best in solitaire settings with V-prongs at each point, bezel settings, and halo designs. With D color (colorless), only detectable by trained gemologists with master stones. The two pointed ends need v-prongs for protection, and symmetry between the two halves is essential.
