A lab grown marquise diamond is a real diamond engineered in a high-tech laboratory environment using advanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) processes. It possesses identical optical, chemical, and physical characteristics to a mined diamond, including a 10 rating on the Mohs hardness scale.
Originating in 18th-century France—commissioned by King Louis XV to match the lips of the Marchioness of Pompadour—the marquise cut features 58 facets designed to reflect light with extraordinary fire.
Selecting a lab grown marquise cut ring offers distinct aesthetic and financial benefits:
Maximum Visual Impact: Thanks to its long, narrow shape, a marquise diamond appears visibly larger than round or square cuts of the exact same carat weight.
Exceptional Value: Lab created marquise diamonds generally cost 30% to 70% less than mined equivalents, enabling you to invest in a much larger center stone or higher clarity grade within your budget.
Flattering Aesthetics: The elongated profile elongates and slenders the wearer's finger, delivering a bold, vintage-inspired statement.
Ethical Assurance: Grown in modern laboratory environments, every diamond offers full supply chain transparency free from mining impact.
