More Information About Marquise Engagement Rings

Marquise engagement rings are both distinctive and symbolic. The marquise cut diamond, with its dramatic pointed ends and curved sides, resembles a boat or eye shape, offering a striking profile on the hand. This cut is known for its ability to elongate the finger, enhance perceived size, and deliver a unique blend of sparkle and symmetry. Whether chosen for its historical charm or modern edge, the marquise diamond continues to evolve as a bold, personal choice in engagement ring design.

What Is a Marquise Diamond?

A marquise diamond is an elongated brilliant cut with 58 facets and pointed tips at each end. It is part of the brilliant cut family, designed for maximum light return and fire. Originally commissioned by King Louis XV to resemble the lips of his mistress, the shape has a regal history and has been reimagined through contemporary marquise engagement ring styles, including solitaires, halos, and three-stone designs.

Do Marquise Diamonds Look Bigger than other Diamond Shapes?

One of the most compelling advantages of the marquise diamond shape is its visual size. Thanks to their elongated shape and shallow depth, marquise diamonds offer a larger surface area than many other cuts of the same carat weight, making them an excellent choice for maximizing presence and impact without increasing cost.

Tips for Selecting a Marquise Engagement Ring

Choosing a marquise diamond engagement ring involves knowing what will look and feel best on your hand. Here are a few key tips to guide the process.

Consider the Center Stone First

Start with the marquise cut diamond that fits your style and budget, then build the setting around it. Carat weight and proportions affect both size and silhouette.

Prioritize Length-to-Width Ratio

A marquise diamond’s ratio affects its look; 1.75 to 2.15 is a balanced range. A slimmer ratio gives a long, narrow feel, while a wider ratio offers a softer, more rounded appearance.

Choose a Secure Marquise Engagement Ring Setting

Because marquise diamonds have pointed tips, selecting a setting with prongs or a bezel that protects the ends can prevent chips and enhance long-term durability.

Match the Metal to Your Style

White gold and platinum offer a sleek, modern finish. Yellow gold enhances warmth, while rose gold brings romantic contrast. All are available in 14k and 18k options.

Pair Your Marquise Engagement Ring Thoughtfully with a Wedding Band

Classic wedding bands or curved wedding rings pair beautifully with most marquise engagement ring styles. For more intricate silhouettes like halo engagement rings or split shank engagement rings, consider a complementary curve.
