Question 1

What is a marquise cut diamond engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

A marquise cut diamond engagement ring features a long, boat-shaped diamond with pointed ends. The marquise cut has one of the largest surface areas per carat of any cut, making it appear larger than other shapes of the same weight — and creating a dramatic, elongating effect on the finger.

Question 2

How does a marquise cut diamond make a finger look longer?

Accepted Answer

The elongated shape of the marquise cut, when worn with the points toward the fingertip, creates a visual line that makes the finger appear longer and more slender. It's one of the most flattering cuts for the hand.

Question 3

What setting works best for a marquise cut diamond?

Accepted Answer

A two-prong or four-prong setting with V-tip prongs at the pointed ends is recommended to protect the most vulnerable areas of the stone. A halo setting amplifies the marquise's size and adds extra brilliance.

Question 4

Are marquise cut diamonds more affordable than round cut?

Accepted Answer

Yes, generally. Marquise cut diamonds typically cost less than round diamonds of comparable quality, as the round brilliant cut commands a premium for its cutting precision.

Question 5

What carat size is recommended for a marquise cut engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

Marquise cuts look beautiful across a range of sizes, but tend to be most impactful at 0.75 carats and above, where the elongated shape is clearly visible and dramatic.
