What’s the 411 on the Marquise Cut?
So what exactly is a marquise cut diamond? It’s a narrow, elongated gem with tapered ends and 58 facets that dance with light. Marquise diamonds are known for their ability to appear larger than their actual carat weight, thanks to their longer shape. This means more dazzle for your dollar and great finger coverage at a more affordable price.
This elegant, eye-catching cut has been turning heads and winning hearts since the eighteenth century, when King Louis XV of France wanted a diamond cut that resembled the lips of his mistress, the infamous Madame du Pompadour. Those lips inspired a diamond shape that has evolved over time, combining the best of diamond science and cutting techniques to become the marquise cut we adore today.
