MARQUISE CUT ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The marquise cut, also called the Navette cut due to its small boat shape, originated in the 18th-century French court. Its appeal hasn't changed: for the same carat weight, it visually appears larger than a round cut and elongates the wearer's hand. It is, undoubtedly, a cut with presence.

Optically, its 56 facets return long and dramatic flashes, very different from the more compact sparkle of the brilliant cut. It's a cut that gets noticed when entering a room, ideal for people who want an expressive ring without being overly ornate.

How to set the diamond to maximize its brilliance

The orientation of the marquise determines the ring's character. The most common way is to place it vertically, along the axis of the finger, which enhances the lengthening effect. It is also increasingly seen horizontally (east-west), a more modern and minimalist option. In both cases, it's important that the tips are protected by V-prongs to prevent damage to the most delicate part of the diamond.

Setting styles that best complement a marquise

The marquise is very versatile and can be set in many different ways, depending on the wearer's personality. These are the options that work best within our collection.

Marquise solitaire

The classic solitaire is the purest option. A single marquise diamond on a thin band allows the stone to take center stage and highlights its elongated silhouette. It works perfectly with white gold for a contemporary finish or with yellow gold if you're looking for a vintage nod.

Marquise with halo

Surrounding the center stone with small pavé diamonds amplifies the brilliance and increases the visual presence of the ring. If you like this style, within our halo engagement rings collection, you'll find options adaptable to the marquise cut, with halos that follow the navette shape and accentuate its elegance.

Three diamonds with a central marquise

The three-diamond composition, symbolizing the couple's past, present, and future, gains a lot of character with a marquise in the center flanked by two side stones in pear or round cuts. An option with a rich history behind it.

Pavé or vintage band

For those seeking more detail, a pavé band covered in small diamonds transforms the marquise into a unique, fine jewelry piece.

Lab-grown diamonds: same essence, better decision

All our diamond rings are set with certified lab-grown diamonds, which are chemically and optically identical to earth-mined diamonds. The difference lies in their origin: they are cultivated in controlled environments, with clear traceability and a much smaller environmental impact. For a piece as symbolic as an engagement ring, it's a choice consistent with the values of many couples today.

Furthermore, this technology allows us to offer you large marquise diamonds with exceptional color and clarity, all set in 18-karat gold and with the support of our team throughout the selection process.

How to pair your marquise with a wedding band

On your wedding day, the engagement ring is accompanied by a wedding band. With a marquise, there are two paths: a plain and discreet band, which allows the diamond to take all the visual weight, or a curved or pointed diamond half-eternity band that hugs the marquise shape without overshadowing it. You can also explore our diamond wedding bands to find the proportion that best suits your chosen setting.

And if you later want to expand the set for anniversaries or special occasions, within our anniversary jewelry collection, there are pieces designed to coherently complement the ensemble.
