Why Choose a Marquise Cut Engagement Ring?

The marquise cut is said to mirror the lips of the Marquise “Madam” 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 passion.

Pronounced “mahr-keez,” this distinctive cut is perfect for those who value historical romance and an alternative sense of style.

Special features of marquise-cut engagement rings:

They can be set in either a North-South or East-West orientation.
With 56 facets (flat surfaces cut into the diamond), the marquise maximises sparkle and light reflection for exceptional brilliance.
Thanks to its elongated form, a marquise diamond appears larger face up than a round diamond of equal carat weight.
It is a flattering shape that lengthens and slims the ring finger.

FAQs on Marquise-Shaped Engagement Rings

We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about marquise-cut engagement rings.

Is a 3-carat marquise engagement ring too big?

Not at all. While it’s larger than the average one to two-carat ring, a 3-carat engagement ring measures approximately 14mm x 7mm. This offers a striking presence that’s still comfortable to wear.

Are marquise diamonds more expensive?

No, marquise-cut engagement rings typically cost 20–30% less than round diamonds of the same quality. 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.
