What Is a Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring?
A marquise diamond engagement ring features a diamond cut into the distinctive "navette" shape—an elongated oval with pointed ends. This iconic silhouette enhances the diamond’s visual size, making it appear larger than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight.
The marquise cut not only delivers exceptional brilliance but also creates an elegant, lengthening effect on the wearer’s finger. Set in Platinum 950, the diamond’s sleek shape is beautifully complemented by the metal’s radiant white finish, offering a sophisticated and standout aesthetic.
Are Marquise Diamonds Popular?
Marquise diamonds have experienced varying levels of popularity over time but continue to captivate those drawn to their distinctive and elegant appeal. While not as commonly chosen as round or oval diamonds, their unique silhouette, timeless charm, and ability to appear larger than other cuts of the same carat weight make them a standout choice.
Recently, marquise diamonds have seen a revival, appealing to couples seeking vintage-inspired or unconventional designs. Their elongating effect on the finger, combined with a blend of sophistication and individuality, makes them particularly desirable. Whether showcased in a classic solitaire or enhanced with a halo setting, marquise engagement rings offer a refined and uniquely striking aesthetic.
What Does the Marquise Diamond Shape Represent?
The marquise diamond is steeped in history and romance. Commissioned by King Louis XV of France, the cut was designed to resemble the smile of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour. This romantic origin imbues the marquise shape with an air of regal elegance and sophistication.
The diamond’s elongated form and pointed ends symbolise individuality, grace, and timeless beauty. Paired with the modern sheen of Platinum 950, this cut becomes a striking representation of love, style, and sophistication.
Key Considerations: The 4Cs for Marquise Diamonds
When choosing a marquise diamond, the cut quality is paramount to achieving optimal brilliance. The elongated shape and intricate facet pattern require precise craftsmanship to maximise light reflection.
Clarity is equally important, as the broader facets of the marquise cut can make inclusions more visible. Selecting a high-clarity diamond with an excellent cut will ensure the stone’s brilliance and beauty are fully showcased.

Are Marquise Diamond Engagement Rings Expensive?
Marquise diamonds are often more affordable than round diamonds and are comparable in price to pear or oval cuts. Their elongated shape creates the appearance of a larger stone, allowing for a stunning visual impact without requiring a higher carat weight.
This combination of affordability and dramatic appeal makes marquise diamond engagement rings an excellent choice for those seeking a luxurious yet economical option.
