Sometime ago, I started loving the marquise shape -- I know there is less love for marquise nowadays but I personally think it's such a classic, beautiful shape that may compliment a lot of people. My family and I didn't live in the States during the 80s, so the 80s stigma doesn't bother me a bit on the shape.
This is a project within a tight budget though, as I truly love and will be wearing my original ering more often than this one, and cannot justify spending a lot on a second ring. Finally a stone came up from Union diamond that fits my budget and was one of their "Ideal Cuts". The perfect size that I am looking for and at a fantastic price point.
For anyone thinking about purchasing from Union diamond, I will highly recommend them as they have just been very helpful, personable, and never pushy throughout the process. Tony Rixom answered all my questions patiently even though this was a purchase at a lower price point. They also did everything faster than what I would have expected. I received the ring only 3 days after the order!
The ring is gorgeous
: marquise have a unique sparkle that is more subtle than my ideal round brilliant, but its very catchy and firey. I also included some comparison shots to my original 1.2 ct round e-ring for comparison. And for anyone wondering, marquise does have a lot of spread for its carat size!
Stats on the stone: GIA graded, 0.82 ct, G color, I2 clarity (mostly eye clean, and the low clarity grade made it very affordable for the size and color)
