GCAL report 361666012

1.01 ct Marquise Laboratory-Grown Diamond

89/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

  • A 1.92:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic marquise range.
  • Face-up spread (10.16 × 5.29 mm) is typical or better for a 1.01 ct marquise.
  • Table 57% and depth 62.3% fall in the typical marquise range.
  • D color is in the colorless range.
  • VVS2 clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

What deserves a closer look

  • Screening only: for this marquise, check images or video of the exact stone for the bow-tie and whether the two points line up end to end.
  • Treatment status is not stated on the report. For a laboratory-grown diamond, ask whether it is as-grown or post-growth treated.
  • Not stated on the report: polish, symmetry. These are not assumed to be favorable, and confidence is lower.

The reading, field by field

Table · Ideal
At 57%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for a marquise, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Ideal
62.3% is within the typical 58–64% range for a marquise, keeping weight where it contributes to face-up size and light return.
Length-to-width · Ideal
A 1.92:1 outline is within the classic 1.85–2.2:1 range for a marquise.
Girdle · Ideal
Thin - thick, faceted: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal
None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Ideal
D is in the colorless range and faces up white in any metal.
Clarity · Ideal
VVS2: inclusions, if any, are only visible under magnification.
Fluorescence · Ideal
None: no meaningful effect on appearance.

What to check on the exact stone

  • In a face-up video, does the bow-tie flicker as the stone tilts, or stay a fixed dark band across the center?
  • Will the ring setting use protective V-tip prongs or a bezel to safeguard the two delicate points?
  • Can you confirm the stone's weight and measurements match the GCAL report before it is set?
