The Carat Standard

IGI report LG732520368

2.00 ct Marquise Laboratory-Grown Diamond

87/100 · Refined

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

What reads well

  • A 1.98:1 length-to-width ratio sits in the classic marquise range.
  • Face-up spread (12.55 × 6.35 mm) is typical or better for a 2.00 ct marquise.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • E color is in the colorless range.
  • IF clarity: inclusions are not a practical visual factor.

What deserves a closer look

  • A 66.1% depth is on the deep side for a marquise; deeper pavilions are associated with a stronger bow-tie and hidden weight.
  • 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).
  • Screening only: bow-tie, windowing and contrast in a marquise can only be judged from images or video of this exact stone.

What to check on the exact stone

  • With 66.1% depth, does this stone face up smaller than a typical 2.00 ct marquise?
  • Will the ring setting use protective V-tip prongs or a bezel to safeguard the two delicate points?
  • Is extra carat weight trapped in the thick girdle rim where it does not add finger presence?
  • Does this HPHT-grown diamond look neutral white beside another stone in daylight, with no gray or blue cast?
