Marquise Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

If the idea of a vintage design appeals to your bride-to-be, then a marquise-cut diamond engagement ring would suit her. 

Marquise is a term used to describe a specific cut of diamond. This distinct diamond cut is characterized by its football shape - with an elongated and elliptical silhouette, plus pointed ends. With a combination of sleek curves and sharp points, a marquise cut showcases a classically beautiful look. 

A marquise-cut diamond has 58 facets, making it capable of displaying exceptional fire and brilliance. Its longer width or stretched-out appearance makes it appear bigger on a ring, delivering greater finger coverage and a flattering look on the hand. The marquise cut is also shallow, so it has a broader table area (top flat facet), making it appear more sizable than its actual carat weight. 

What is also desirable about a marquise-cut diamond is its edgy yet dainty undertone. It pairs well with many different settings and almost any accent stones. It also looks stunning in various ring styles, from antique and vintage to modern and unconventional ring designs. 

While there is no single best setting for a marquise-cut diamond, it is recommended that this diamond cut is mounted on a secure six-prong setting because the pointed ends are susceptible to chipping. A bezel setting that wraps the entire stone is an alternative. Diamond halos can help maximize a marquise-cut diamond's sparkle. 

At Enchanted Disney Fine Jewelry, you will see intricately designed and expertly made engagement rings adorned with a precious marquise-cut diamond center stone. The rings may come decorated with accent diamonds in different cuts or colored gemstones. Whichever design you pick, expect it to be a sophisticated stunner that your beloved will cherish forever.
