Sculpted Elongation
A Marquise Cut Diamond is created by crafting a diamond into an elongated shape that narrows to a point at both ends.
The process begins by carefully analyzing the raw diamond to determine the optimal cut, which allows for maximum shine and minimal waste. The diamond is then shaped with pointed ends and a gracefully curved center.
When worn as a ring, the Marquise Cut can create the illusion of longer, slimmer fingers, providing a flattering effect.
Chiseled Points
The pointed tips are created through precise faceting techniques, where the diamond cutter skillfully shapes the stone to maximize brilliance and carat weight retention.
These sharp, pointed ends serve a functional purpose by enhancing the perceived length of the diamond while also accentuating its symmetrical form, contributing to the Marquise Cut’s regal look and creating an optical illusion of greater length.
Faceted Crown
The crown, which is the topmost portion of the diamond above the girdle, is carefully faceted to capture and reflect light more effectively.
By adding facets to the crown, light entering the diamond is refracted and scattered, producing the characteristic sparkle.
The faceted crown also contributes to the cut's depth and dimension, balancing the elongated silhouette with a lively play of light.
This design element amplifies the stone's overall brilliance and also adds complexity to the design.
Marquise Cut Diamonds Appear Larger than Their Carat Weight
The marquise's distinctive boat-like design increases the visible surface area, particularly on the diamond's top or table.
This expanded table creates the illusion of a bigger stone than the actual carat weight, as more of the diamond's mass is concentrated on the visible surface rather than the depth.
The length of the marquise cut draws the eye along its graceful curves, further enhancing the perception of size.
This optical illusion makes the Marquise Cut an attractive option for those looking to make a bold statement with a diamond that looks larger without increasing the carat weight.
Marquise Cut Diamonds in a Spectrum of Settings
A Marquise Cut Diamond is ideal for a wide range of settings, making it a popular choice for both classic and contemporary jewelry designs.
The elongated shape of the Marquise Cut lends itself beautifully to various styles, allowing it to be paired with different metals and complementary gems.
Bezel Setting
The diamond is framed by a sleek metal border that hugs its contours, showcasing the stone's shape while providing a sleek appearance.
The Bezel Setting not only enhances the Marquise Cut's dramatic silhouette but also offers excellent protection for the diamond, ensuring its delicate tips remain secure and well-preserved.
This setting style allows for a seamless integration of the diamond into the ring, providing a contemporary look that is both stylish and functional. Additionally, the low profile of a Marquise Cut Diamond in a Bezel Setting makes it comfortable for everyday wear.
Prong Setting
Marquise Cut Diamonds in a Prong Setting offer a stunning showcase of the stone's unique fire. In this setting, the diamond is held in place by metal prongs that secure the stone while allowing ample light to enter from multiple angles.
This open design enhances the Marquise Cut's sparkle, maximizing its reflective qualities and creating a dazzling display of light. The pointed ends of the marquise are often highlighted by the prongs, drawing attention to the diamond's elegant outline.
Hidden Halo Setting
Marquise Cut Diamonds Set in a Hidden Halo Setting creates a mesmerizing style that combines elegance with an element of surprise. In this setting, a frame of smaller diamonds is discreetly nestled beneath the marquise, enhancing its visual impact without overwhelming it.
The hidden halo complements the Marquise Cut, adding an extra layer of brilliance, often creating the illusion of a larger center stone. This setting beautifully highlights the marquise's silhouette while providing additional sparkle that catches the eye from every angle.
