What can you tell me with limited info?

[LD]

I know this is a silly question and probably won''t have a definite answer but I was wondering if the following gives you any indication of whether this diamond will be good or otherwise ......

Marquise cut
1.03ct
9.6 x 5.1 x 4.5 mm
I colour (but seller says it faces up white - perhaps it has some fluor?)
Eye clean but with two inclusions seen with a loupe.

It''s currently set into the ugliest setting you''ve ever seen that was made for somebody who then didn''t pay. Therefore the price is exceptionally good as the seller just wants to get rid of it - I know him VERY well. I''m really struggling to find information on stats for Marquise cuts and my research leads me to believe that you need to use your eyes more than anything else. Bearing that in mind, he''s sending it to me for approval but I''m wondering if you have any idea whether this will be good, bad or very ugly please?

Thanks for any help you can give. x

Nothing unfortunately. Sorry!

Even pictures would help with a fancy if you don't have cut info...

The picture unfortunately isn''t good enough. The seller is going to take more photos tomorrow but I think I may just have to wait and see it in all its glory (or not as the case may be)!!!!

send it to an appraiser - some good ones listed here under resources - top right on your screen.
Marquise concentrate colour at the ends - I will look like L there

Hi Garry - Many thanks for your help. I''m in the UK and luckily use an appraiser who''s superb. I guess I was more interested in whether you could tell anything from the limited size stats - from my research it appears that you can''t do that for Marquise cuts? Is that correct?

It is longish and rather deep

Thanks Garry! I wondered about the depth!
