HOW
TO CHOOSE
As with all types
of fancy-shaped diamonds,
the first consideration in
choosing a marquise should
be the quality of its overall
appearance. It goes without
saying that you should select
a stone with high transparency
that sparkles brightly. Take
care, however, not to be
mesmerized by brilliance
and neglect considering the
beauty of the gemstone's
appearance and shape.
When selecting a large marquise,
it is best to choose an appropriate
shape while keeping in mind
an image of the finished
jewelry. Since gemstones
are created by nature, demanding
too much of a stone is unreasonable.
Choosing a stone that impresses
you as beautiful will ultimately
lead to a good purchase.
In any case, it is important
to choose a jeweler that
fully understands the quality
of gemstones.
The value of a one-carat-size
marquise-cut diamond of jewelry
is approximately US $6,000
for the stone alone. (2001) |
