GIA report 1559048725
1.50 ct Marquise Diamond
67/100 · Character
Distinctive trade-offs that should be viewed deliberately.
What reads well
- A 1.92:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic marquise range.
- Face-up spread (11.38 × 5.92 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct marquise.
- Table 61% and depth 62.7% fall in the typical marquise range.
- Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
- Faint fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
What deserves a closer look
- SI2 is often not eye-clean in a marquise; view an image or video of this exact stone.
- Clouds are referenced on the report; confirm the stone looks transparent rather than hazy.
- Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (cavity); check their position on the plot for durability.
- Medium to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
- 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.
The reading, field by field
- Table · Ideal
- At 61%, the table sits within the typical 53–63% range for a marquise, balancing brightness with fire.
- Total depth · Ideal
- 62.7% 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.
- Polish · Ideal
- Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
- Symmetry · Ideal
- Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
- Girdle · Closer look
- Medium to very thick, faceted: a thick girdle carries weight in the rim, so the stone can face up a little smaller for its carat weight. It is durable, though.
- Culet · Ideal
- None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
- Color · Favorable
- J may show slight warmth at the points of a marquise, especially next to white metal. Yellow or rose gold tends to complement it.
- Clarity · Closer look
- SI2: inclusions may be visible to the eye. Confirm with images or video before buying.
- Fluorescence · Ideal
- Faint: no meaningful effect on appearance.
What to check on the exact stone
- Does the diamond look crisp and transparent in natural light, or is there any milky haze?
- Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
- Is the surface opening protected by a prong, or could it catch lint and risk chipping?
- Can you show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
