Completed prices are past Lavora builds (completed ring prices · price per carat index); estimator and design-desk figures are ranges from our ring price estimator and design desk, not fixed prices. D–E/VS1+ rows use the design-desk formula at the D–E VS1+ diamond rate, while D–E/VS1+ rows use VS1 stone pricing, so a higher-grade 2.0ct solitaire can price above a larger D–E/VS1+ hidden halo. Your exact price comes with your 3D model.

Marquise and emerald cuts are two of the fastest-rising fancy shapes of 2026 — both elongated, both finger-flattering, and both priced a little differently than the rounds and ovals most price charts cover. Here is what IGI-certified center diamonds in marquise and emerald cuts actually cost at 2026 market prices, how they compare to rounds, and what a complete custom ring runs at each size.

Complete rings have a $2,000 minimum.

How much do marquise and emerald cut lab-grown diamonds cost in 2026?

Prices below are for IGI-certified center stones in the Lavora default — D–E color, VS1+ clarity, excellent cut. Fancy shapes like marquise and emerald typically price a few percent under an equivalent round, because round rough is in the highest demand. “Direct” is the loose-stone price at custom jewelers and online-direct vendors.

Carat size	Marquise (direct)	Emerald (direct)
1.00ct	$430–$700	$430–$720
1.50ct	$650–$1,050	$680–$1,100
2.00ct	$1,100–$1,800	$1,150–$1,850
2.50ct	$1,400–$2,300	$1,450–$2,350
3.00ct	$2,200–$3,700	$2,300–$3,900

The pattern matches the wider lab-grown market: price per carat steps up at each milestone weight.

Why does a marquise look bigger than its price suggests?

The marquise has one of the largest face-up areas of any diamond shape — its long, shallow outline spreads carat weight across the finger, so a 1.5ct marquise can read like a 2ct round from conversation distance. That makes it one of the best value-per-visual-size choices in lab-grown: you pay fancy-shape pricing, slightly under round, and get milestone-size presence a full step early. The main thing to check is the length-to-width ratio — most buyers land between 1.85 and 2.1 — and that the two points are protected by prongs in the setting.

What should you check on an emerald cut before buying?

Emerald cuts are step cuts: long, open facets that showcase clarity instead of hiding it. Two practical rules follow. First, hold the clarity line at VS1+ — inclusions that vanish in a brilliant-cut oval can sit in plain view in an emerald’s open table, and in lab-grown the upgrade costs comparatively little. Second, stay D–E in color, since the broad facets also show body color more honestly than a sparkle-heavy cut. The reward for those two rules is the “hall of mirrors” flash no brilliant cut can imitate.

What does a complete custom ring cost in these shapes?

At Lavora, complete-ring prices come from our own builds and estimator, not from adding up market ranges: a completed 2.00ct marquise bezel solitaire came to $2,149 in 14K gold. Complete engagement rings have a $2,000 minimum, and bigger centers, 18K gold or platinum are quoted on your specs. Both shapes suit the east-west and bezel settings trending in 2026.

How do you check that a marquise or emerald quote is fair?

Three checks, in order: get the quote itemized (stone, setting, labor as separate lines); look up the IGI or GIA certificate number on the lab’s own database and confirm carat, color, clarity, and dimensions match what you were sold; then price the same certificate at two other vendors.

Q: Which looks bigger, a marquise or an emerald cut?
A: Marquise — its shallow, elongated outline has among the largest face-up areas per carat of any shape. Emerald cuts look slightly smaller than their weight but flash in a way brilliants cannot.
