2.22CT Marquise D VS1 price

[SelenaMarquise]

Hi! First time on here and have just been introduced to lab created. I was looking for your thoughts and inputs on this gem. GIA certified, D color, 2.22, VS1. Does anyone see any issues with this? Windowing? I feel like I can see the prongs from below. Will the fire and clarity on this lab stone last a lifetime and more? Thanks!

There isn't a window. What you're seeing is a bowtie, not prongs. It is extremely common in ovals and marquise diamonds due to the shape. I'll let people more knowledgeable chime in on cut quality.

A diamond is a diamond. Color and fire will stay forever, clarity on any diamond is subject to how you treat it. Assume you don’t use it to go rock climbing, lifting weights etc it should be stable.

Haha I misread the last part. I thought you were asking about the quality of cut. I am not a morning person.

Anyway, yes, lab diamonds are chemically and molecular structurally identical as natural so they have the same attributes. Neither the clarity or fire will change just because it is a lab. That only happens with treatments and/or enhancements.

Does anyone see any issues with this?

As incredibly helpful folks are here ( and boy are they ever!) no one can glean any useful information from your pictures.....they're nice pics!
But there are many potential issues that no one could tell from those pics.....

Thanks everyone! Here is a better pic, to clarify my concern, in certain angles it looks like I can see my skin. Is this normal? Or could it be bc it is a poor cut? All of your thoughts are welcome.

What other kinds of potential issues ?

What other kinds of potential issues ?

First of all is the cut- if it's not well cut, the other considerations are moot....
If it passes that first barrier...
The main two that come to mind:
Transparency- there are LG diamonds that have grain and other issues that affect how much they sparkle.
Blue Nuance- some HPHT created stones have a blue tint to them
Some people love that- but many people buying a D color want a colorless diamond.
