0.50 Carat Marquise Cut Diamond, RIV-E, VS-1, GIA Certified

This is a natural marquise cut diamond of 0.50 carat, colour River E, clarity VS-1, with a GIA certificate. It comes from Royal Coster Diamonds in Amsterdam, the oldest still operating diamond polishing house in the world, founded in 1840.

The cut. The marquise is an elongated shape with a point at both ends. Because the weight is spread over a long surface, a marquise looks larger than most other shapes of the same carat weight. On the hand the length makes the finger appear slimmer.

Colour. River E is the top of the colour scale and fully colourless. Set in white gold or platinum, the stone shows no tint.

Clarity. VS-1 stands for Very Slightly Included. The inclusions are small enough that they can only be found under 10x magnification. To the naked eye the stone is clean.

Certificate. The diamond was graded by GIA, an independent laboratory. The certificate confirms that the diamond is natural and records its weight, colour, clarity and cut.

Setting. We can set this diamond in a ring, earrings or a pendant in 18K white, yellow or rose gold. Our diamond specialists advise you in our boutique in Amsterdam or online.

Please note. The image shows a rendering of this diamond shape, not a photograph of the stone itself, so colour, clarity and proportions of the actual diamond may differ from what you see here. The specifications and the certificate are leading: they describe this exact stone. Our diamond specialists will gladly send you photos or a video of the diamond, or show it to you in our boutique in Amsterdam.
