What IS A Marquise ENGAGMENT RING

Marquise cut diamonds, characterised by their eye-like shape, boast one of the most expansive surface areas among diamond shapes. With a total of 58 facets—33 on the crown and 25 on the pavilion—this unique cut features a French tip, replacing traditional bezel facets at the diamond’s points. Known for their long and narrow pointed shape, marquise diamonds, a modified brilliant diamond, create the illusion of a larger size compared to their actual carat weight. Similar to the emerald cut, the marquise cut imparts an elongating effect on the wearer’s hands and fingers, offering a touch of sophistication.

Marquise cut diamonds are not only sparkly stones but also create the illusion of a larger appearance than other diamond shapes. Their elongated body and distinctive shape contribute to this effect, making them an ideal choice for those seeking affordability without compromising on elegance. If you’re working within a limited budget or prefer a smaller carat weight, the marquise cut is an excellent and affordable option.

What Sets Marquise Cut Diamonds Apart?

Choosing between marquise and pear cut diamonds can be a stylish dilemma. While both cuts exude elegance and a classic charm, they differ in appearance. The marquise cut, with its brilliant facets, enhances the diamond’s size and is a fantastic option for balancing value with beauty. On the other hand, pear cut diamonds, resembling a hybrid of marquise and round diamonds, offer a unique “teardrop” shape. Your choice ultimately depends on your personal style and preferences.

For those who appreciate an elongated stone, the marquise cut is an excellent choice. Its long, slender form with pointed ends creates a subtle and elegant look, perfect for engagement rings. The marquise cut complements the wearer’s hands, creating the illusion of slimmer and longer fingers. Whether incorporated into a modern design or a vintage-inspired ring with a halo or diamond band, marquise cut diamonds add a touch of sophistication to any style.

A Brief History of Marquise Cut Engagement Rings

The history of the marquise cut dates back to the 18th century when it was crafted as an homage to Madame De Pompadour’s lips, the mistress of King Louis XV of France. Featuring 56 facets and an elliptical shape with pointed ends, the marquise cut has evolved over time. Today, diamond cutters confirm that the modern marquise cut handles light almost as perfectly as a round brilliant cut diamond. Symmetry and proportion are key characteristics, with the ideal ratio falling between 1.75 to 2.23, allowing for a personalised touch to suit individual preferences.

At Simply Diamonds, we invite you to explore the allure of marquise cut diamonds and create a one-of-a-kind engagement ring that reflects your unique love story. Crafted with precision and passion, our build-your-own diamond engagement rings ensure a timeless and unforgettable symbol of your commitment.
