While selecting this fancy marquise shaped diamond, some details must be minutely checked. Symmetry is very important in marquise cuts. The two end points should stay aligned with each other, and the right and left sides should form a near mirror image and remain identical.

The most preferred setting for a marquise cut diamond, is the prong setting, it may be a two prong or six prong setting providing profound security to the finely cut marquise diamond. Because these points were once nearest the outer edge of the rough stone, flaws such as naturals, extra facets, and other inclusions may be located here. Since the points are covered by prongs, these flaws will be invisible once the diamond is set.

The price range of diamond fluctuates based on the 4C’s of diamonds i.e; the cut, color, clarity and carat of the diamonds. The color range of diamonds start from D, E, F till Z. D is considered to be colorless and hence the best quality diamond with high prices and as we descend towards Z, the price decreases and the diamond reflects slight yellowish or brownish tint. In case of clarity, it is measured as FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2 and I3. FL indicating flawless diamonds are free of any inclusions or blemishes, so can be regarded as the supreme quality diamonds and also pretty expensive quality diamonds.
