FAQs

Selecting a setting for a marquise diamond requires a balance between aesthetic flair and structural integrity. Use this quick guide to find the perfect match for your stone.

Consider the "Bow-Tie" Effect

Almost all marquise diamonds exhibit some degree of a "bow-tie" (a dark shadow across the center). Choosing a bright, polished setting in white gold or platinum can help reflect light back into the stone, minimizing the shadow and maximizing the brilliance.

Proportions and Symmetry

The marquise is all about the ratio.

  • Traditional: Look for a length-to-width ratio of 1.75 to 2.15.
  • The Setting's Role: A slim, delicate band will make a shorter marquise look longer, while a thicker band or a halo setting can add "heft" to a very narrow stone.

Metal Choice Matters

  • Yellow Gold: Accentuates the vintage, regal feel of the marquise cut.
  • Platinum/White Gold: Creates a seamless, icy look that makes the diamond appear larger.
  • Rose Gold: Offers a romantic, modern twist that complements the soft curves of the cut.

Why Choose This Collection?

Our curated marquise ring settings are engineered specifically for the unique dimensions of the marquise cut. From minimalist solitaires to intricate vintage-inspired mounts, each piece is designed to secure the delicate tips of your stone without overshadowing its natural fire.

The marquise cut is known as the "supermodel" of diamond shapes for a reason. Its elongated body creates an illusion of greater size, often appearing larger than a round or cushion cut of the same carat weight. Furthermore, the slender shape has a slimming effect on the finger, offering a sophisticated look that has remained a favorite from the French royal courts to modern-day red carpets.

Our Signature Styles includes:

  • Classic Solitaires: Focus all the attention on the diamond's unique geometry with a minimalist band.
  • Vintage-Inspired Mounts: Complement the antique charm of the marquise with intricate milgrain and pavé detailing.
  • Modern Halo Settings: Surround your marquise with a border of smaller diamonds to amplify its "bow-tie" brilliance and add structural security.
  • Protective V-Prong Designs: Every setting in our collection prioritizes the safety of your gemstone, utilizing specialized prongs to shield the vulnerable tips from daily wear.
