Which Diamond Would be Best

[Merty]

Well I have finally narrowed down to 3 marquise from james allen. Here is the link http://www.jamesallen.com/?q=180852#!/loose-diamonds/marquise-cut//CaratFrom:0.50|CaratTo:0.54|Color:E|Clarity:SI1|PriceFrom:400|PriceTo:999000|TabSelected:3||DiamondID:180852,182297,30840
Now I am wondering a little on the depth. There are no set guidelines only what I have read and it appears that a depth of 62% is best but will it make alot of difference if it is shy of that Thanks, mary I would love the DSI1

Ask for gemologist's review of them.

You keep mentioning D color, so here are a few, one has strong blue fluorescence: http://www.jamesallen.com/?q=180852#!/loose-diamonds/marquise-cut//CaratFrom:0.50|CaratTo:10.00|Color|Clarity:SI1,IF,VVS1,VVS2,VS2,VS1|PriceFrom:400|PriceTo:1200|TabSelected:3|ps:15||DiamondID:180849,180852,180841,180842

The .52 or the .54

Ditto. Not a fan of the first one.

Not a fan of any D color with strong blue D fluorescence. I'd rather have an E or F color with no fluorescence but that is JMHO.

The .54 has the nicest faceting pattern (IMO). Did you request aset images for these stones?

depth on a Marquise

What about the depth. what is a good depth on a marquise?

 

[JulieN]

Doesn't matter that much; depth measured by the depth dimension divided by the length... so for marquises with different l/w ratios depth percentages are not good comparisons to make. Get the gemologist to pick the best one out of 3 or 4, I would not worry about ASETs or depth percentages.
