The marquise cut is said to mirror the lips of the Marquise “Madame” de Pompadour, advisor and mistress of King Louis XV of France. In the mid-18th century, the king commissioned the cut in her honour — a style that still reflects regal opulence and romance today.
Pronounced “mahr-keez,” this distinctive cut is perfect for those who value historical romance and unconventional rings.
Special features of marquise-shaped engagement rings:
Our marquise-cut engagement ring collection is crafted with either natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds. Each piece is set in your choice of yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum.
Bezel settings, where a smooth border of precious metal frames the diamond, can be incorporated into a wide range of marquise engagement ring styles. In addition to creating a sleek silhouette, the setting helps shield the diamond’s pointed tips from everyday wear.

Our experienced jewellers have answered some of the most frequently asked questions about marquise-cut engagement rings.
No, marquise-cut engagement rings typically cost 20–30% less than round diamonds of the same quality and carat weight. This is because the cutting process wastes less rough diamond material. This shape is also in lower demand than the more popular oval and round cuts.
The best setting for a marquise cut diamond depends on the look you want to achieve. Popular settings include:
Like all pointed-tip diamonds, marquise diamonds require protective settings to support long-term wear. V-prongs and bezel settings help protect the delicate ends from everyday knocks while maintaining the ring’s refined appearance. With the right setting and care, a marquise engagement ring is perfectly suited to everyday wear.
Yes. Our collection includes both lab-grown and natural marquise diamonds, offering the same brilliance, durability and beauty. Lab-grown diamonds are consciously crafted using advanced technology and are an excellent option for those seeking a naturally conflict-free alternative.
Marquise-cut diamond engagement rings pair beautifully with a variety of wedding band styles. Curved or shaped bands sit neatly against the pointed shape of the centre stone. If you have a raised setting, plain bands and eternity rings can sit flush against the engagement ring for a seamless look.
When crafting your engagement ring, we can ensure the setting is designed to accommodate your chosen wedding band perfectly. Alternatively, we can customise a band to complete your bridal set.
Some marquise diamonds display a shadow across the centre of the stone known as the bow-tie effect. This darker area is created by the way light reflects within the elongated shape. A well-cut marquise diamond minimises the appearance of the bow-tie, allowing for more consistent brilliance and sparkle across the stone.
Our in-house gemologist will ensure you select a marquise diamond with exceptional light performance, balanced proportions and a beautifully refined appearance.
Not at all. While it’s larger than the average one to two-carat ring, a 3-carat diamond typically measures approximately 14mm x 7mm. This offers a striking presence that’s still comfortable to wear.
