1.50 ct Marquise Diamond

What reads well

• A 2.18:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic marquise range.
• Face-up spread (12.53 × 5.74 mm) is typical or better for a 1.50 ct marquise.
• Table 61% and depth 58.8% fall in the typical marquise range.
• Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
• No fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.

What deserves a closer look

• Slightly thick to very thick girdle: a thick girdle carries hidden weight and can reduce face-up size (thicker points are common in fancy shapes).
• J color in a 1.50 ct marquise may show some warmth, especially at the points.
• The report notes surface graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
• 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

58.8% 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 2.18:1 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

Slightly thick 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 · 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

• Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
• 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 show me the inscribed report number under a loupe before it is set?
