In this video we will do a side by side Marquise Cut diamond size comparison on the finger
or hand as well as give you different price comparisons at each cut size.
All along giving you different tips and tricks to help you save on diamond shopping.
Each Marquise Cut Size in this video is compared to this 1 Carat Diamond on a hand with a size
6 finger.
This 1 carat diamond at Kay Jewelers like most Brick and Mortar jewelry stores is about
$15900 and that is because it is very high quality.
Now also in this video we take those diamonds and compare them to the exact same quality
diamond from a website I will put in the description below this video.
This one is $5260 so you'd save over $10600 from my link below this video.
Lets Start with a .25 Carat Marquise Cut Diamond on the finger.
Normally people don't buy center stones this small.
But Marquise tend to look bigger than equal carats of other cuts so some people will buy
them this small for Marquise.
I will compare Marquise with round and princess cuts toward the end of this video.
This is a .33 or 1/3 carat marquise engagement ring on the hand.
The down sides of Marquise Cut diamonds is that they sparkle a little less than round
cuts then again that is why they tend to be less expensive than their round cut counterparts.
Because of the length of the marquise cuts you might guess this was a .5 Carat diamond
But This is a .5 or 1/2 carat marquise Diamond on the finger.
If you bought this diamond from clicking on my link below you'd save $4800.
The big issue with special cuts like this is they don't get official cut grades.
Cut grade is important to know because it tells you the most about how much the diamond
sparkles and if the diamond looks as big as the carat suggests.
Watch my other videos for more on this.
Because Marquise Cut Diamonds tend to sparkle less than round cut diamonds having a great
cut is important to make sure the diamond sparkles at its peak.
If that is important to you I will also link to a diamond website that gives an unofficial
diamond cut grade as well.
Because if you get a bad cut you could get some shadows in the middle of the diamond
that take away from the diamonds sparkle.
Next we jump to a 1.6 carat marquise diamond on the finger.
One of the reasons I like marquise cuts is that they look quite bigger than equal carats
of other diamond shapes.
You feel like you get more for your money that way.
As you can see, sometimes from the website below this video you can find a steal.
Like here you'd save over $10,000 over Kays and most brick and mortar jewelry stores.
A 2.5 carat Marquise cut is huge.
As with most rare cuts marquise diamonds don't hide clarity and color flaws very well so
consider a higher clarity and color when purchasing a marquise diamond over lets say a round cut.
People tend to think marquise center stones go very nicely with more intricate band styles.
And, I would agree.
Here we have this ginormous 3.9 carat marquise cut on the finger.
All brick and mortar jewelry stores sell diamonds at an inflated rate.
It costs money to pay for their rent and their salespeople which all inflate the cost of
your diamond.
My biggest tip when buying a diamond is to have your significant other go diamond shopping
at the mall with you or her best friend.
Then make note of the diamond specs that she chose.
After come back and buy the exact same quality diamond from the link below this video and
you'll save a ton of money or you can spend the same amount of money that you would have
spent at the other diamond store and get an even bigger diamond.
That will definitely impress her.
Then just take that diamond back to the store and have it set in their favorite band.
Or you can buy a similar and less expensive band from one of those websites I have linked
to below.
