Carat is a measure of weight, while the millimetre dimensions tell you more about how large the diamond faces up and how the setting must be engineered. This stone measures 8.02 × 4.18 × 2.63 mm, so those actual dimensions can guide claw position, halo spacing, bezel size and setting clearances. At roughly the half-to-one-carat range, it can suit a refined solitaire, halo, three-stone design or diamond pendant depending on the look you want.

G sits in the near-colourless G–J range. Any warmth can be subtle and will vary with lighting, cut, surrounding metal and side stones, so the finished design should be considered as a whole.

SI1 sits in the Slightly Included clarity range. Whether inclusions are visible without magnification depends on their size, relief, type and location as well as the diamond’s shape, so image/video or gemologist review is particularly useful. Ask our Graduate Gemologist (GIA) if you would like an opinion on whether this exact diamond appears eye-clean in normal viewing.

For a Marquise diamond, appearance should not be reduced to a Round Brilliant cut scale. Outline, facet pattern, contrast, length-to-width ratio, polish, symmetry and image/video assessment are important parts of the selection. Recorded finish: Polish EX · Symmetry VG.
