Loose 0.55 Carat Marquise Cut Diamond – F/SI2

This elegant loose 0.55 ct marquise-cut loose diamond is your blank canvas for a truly personal piece of jewelry. Offered by Hoppe Jewelers, it delivers bright, near-colorless sparkle (F color) and value-forward clarity (SI2) in the beloved marquise silhouette. Because it is sold without a setting, you have complete creative control; moreover, you can design an engagement ring, a right-hand ring, or a pendant that fits your style and budget rather than settling for a pre-made piece.
Shoppers often want something that feels unique, refined, and visually flattering. The marquise shape does exactly that. Its elongated outline creates an elegant, finger-lengthening effect; however, it still provides plenty of scintillation thanks to its faceted design. At 0.55 carat, you gain daily-wear practicality and a refined presence that pairs beautifully with minimalist or vintage-inspired settings, without the higher price jump of larger stones.

Why a 0.55-carat marquise-shaped loose diamond stands out

• Elongated elegance: The marquise outline draws the eye along the finger, creating a graceful, slimming effect, while still maximizing perceived size for the carat weight.
• Versatile design potential: Go classic north–south, try a modern east–west orientation, or surround with a halo for extra presence. Furthermore, the marquise flatters both delicate and bold settings.
• Value-smart choice: F color offers crisp, near-colorless brilliance. Meanwhile, SI2 clarity can appear clean to the eye in many cases, depending on inclusion position and faceting.
• Timeless-meets-modern: Its storied history and contemporary styling possibilities make marquise a favorite for those who love distinctive design.

Color and clarity you can trust—explained simply

F color sits in the near-colorless range, which means bright, white sparkle that complements white gold, platinum, and even warmer yellow or rose gold settings. SI2 clarity prioritizes value while, in many stones, still looking eye-clean at normal viewing distances; however, visibility can vary with inclusion type and placement. To help you decide confidently, ask us for close-up images or a video under varied lighting. Moreover, we can discuss the inclusion map and how a thoughtful setting can minimize visibility—especially near the prong or in a halo.

Design ideas for your loose 0.55ct marquise diamond

• Classic solitaire with V-tip prongs: Protects the delicate points, offers a clean look, and maximizes brilliance.
• Halo for extra glow: A cushion or marquise-shaped halo adds presence and reduces any perceived bow-tie effect, while delivering vintage charm.
• East–west bezel: Modern, sleek, and highly secure—ideal for active lifestyles and everyday wear.
• Three-stone balance: Pair with tapered baguettes or pears for an elegant, heirloom aesthetic.

Not sure which style fits best? We’ll guide you through metal choices (platinum, white, yellow, or rose gold) and band width so the proportions flatter your hand. In addition, we can provide recommended length-to-width ratio ranges for the look you prefer—slender and elongated or slightly broader and bold.

FAQs

Is an SI2 clarity marquise a good choice?
Often yes, especially when inclusions are off to the side or masked by facets. We’ll review imagery with you and suggest settings that minimize visibility. Furthermore, you can evaluate eye-cleanliness at your preferred viewing distance.
Will an F color look white in different metals?
F color appears bright and near-colorless in all metals. In white metals it looks especially crisp; meanwhile, in yellow or rose gold, the warmth of the metal doesn’t diminish its brightness.
