loose marquise diamonds

Said to have originated from the smile of a French nobleman’s lover, the Marquise engagement ring is a slender cut that stands out with its tapered edges just like the lips that dazzled French royalty.


Once in a lifetime moments

Every once in a while, there is a once in a lifetime moment with a once in a lifetime someone. Mark it with the Marquise ring, and you can be sure that you will have something with which to remember your precious time. For most people, the Marquise is the perfect engagement ring because of its striking resemblance to the cuts and facets in a radiant cut diamond ring. Under the warm and glowing sky, the Marquise ring sparkles with the bow-tie effect that makes dancing shimmering reflections in the diamond itself, making the Marquise the perfect choice for the most special moments.

The Marquise Cut is Budget Friendly

Even better, the Marquise gives you all of the radiance of a large diamond without the same bite on the wallet that a larger stone offers. The Marquise can come as a 1 carat or a 2 carat diamond piece, but when artfully and skillfully cut by master jewelers, the radiance is sure to make the piece seem much bigger. Because of this, the Marquise is sometimes placed in prongs to highlight even more the sparkle which it produces and to add the appearance of size. Because the Marquise rings are usually made using smaller diamonds and are cheaper, some people choose to complement the rings with other precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, or even sapphires.

Pairings and positions

Baguettes and oval or princess cut gems work well with Marquise wedding rings. Or if you are looking for simple but sweet, the marquise diamond can be set in the ring by itself. The position of the diamond also varies, giving you a wider range for selection. There is the horizontal Marquise and sideway Marquise to choose from, all depending on your partner’s personality as well as the appearance that you want to help her achieve.

Made for your woman

Apart from its well-known shine, the Marquise’ very own elongated shape makes it very flattering for a woman to wear. Making fingers seem much more slender, the Marquise is not only a sign of love and affection, but can easily be used by your woman as the perfect accessory for a variety of dresses whatever the season and whatever style she chooses. Even better, the Marquise can be a thematic gift that you can build up on through time. You can add a variety of other Marquise pieces to her collection as you grow together and accumulate more and more precious moments. Other complements to the ring could be a Marquise earring, for example, whose shape will perfectly match the ring as well as any other high-class occasions that you and your wife may need to visit.

How to choose a marquise diamond

When choosing the Marquise diamond ring that will fit you perfectly, some of the considerations to keep in mind are budget and style. For tighter budgets, look for excellent cuts on smaller carats so that brilliance is not compromised. For added style, look for rings that are accompanied by other gems to give it that intricate look added play of color. A sapphire set along a marquise can give it a bluish sparkle while a ruby can add that fierce red streak. Choose enhancers which also reflect your partner’s sensibilities as well as personality.

With the Marquise at hand, you can be sure that the most memorable nights of your life will be safe and sound in your partner’s memory as well.
