Engagement Rings - Marquise Cut Diamonds

Marquise Cut Diamonds in Diamond Engagement Rings


Does your love conjure up the image of majesty, pomp and circumstance, long flowing gowns and lavish gala dinners? Then you should consider buying a Marquise Cut Diamond Engagement Rings. It’s such and exciting cut and a beautiful stone can send shivers through you whenever time you look at it.

The marquise diamond engagement ring is crowned by a gorgeous 56 facet diamond. The marquise diamond is elongated with pointed ends… Legend has it the Marquise cut was inspired by the smile of the Marquise de Pompadour and created for France's Louis XIV.

The Marquise cut has hidden charms… not unlike the woman owning and wearing it… a Marquise diamond faces up larger on a woman’s hand and also flatters the fingers by making them look long and slender when placed in ring.

Buying a Marquise cut diamond engagement ring

Are you thinking of buying a Marquise cut diamond? Pay special attention to the diamond’s proportions. The recommended ration of length to width of a marquise cut diamond is between 2 to 1. A length over 2.00 can make the diamond look like a sliver of a diamond. Less than 1.50 in length can give it a stubby appearance.



Another factor in choosing your stone is the “bow-tie effect”. That is typical of marquise diamond engagement rings… it’s visibility is dependent upon how well the stone is cut.



Famous Marquise cut engagement rings: Michael Douglas gave Catherine Zeta-Jones an antique 10-carat marquise cut diamond to celebrate their engagement.
