Unveiling the Elegance: The Unmatched Allure of Marquise Engagement Rings
With roots steeped in royal lore, the Marquise cut diamond has been a symbol of refinement and elegance. This captivating cut, which allegedly owes its existence to Louis XV of France, promises to add instant fascination and drama to any engagement ring.
Read summary
What makes marquise engagement rings so distinctively elegant?
Marquise cut diamonds, with their boat-like shape and royal heritage dating back to Louis XV of France, offer a unique blend of history and elegance for engagement rings. Their elongated form creates the illusion of longer, more slender fingers while their 57 facets provide brilliance comparable to round brilliant cuts.
When selecting a marquise diamond, careful consideration is important as their large table makes inclusions more visible, and perfect symmetry is crucial to avoid the "bowtie effect" (a dark area resembling a bow tie) that can appear in this cut.
These distinctive diamonds can be showcased in various settings - from classic solitaires highlighting their unique shape to halo designs that enhance their brilliance with surrounding smaller diamonds. BAUNAT offers expert guidance to help customers find high-quality marquise diamonds that match their preferences while considering current market trends.

What sets the marquise cut diamond apart?
The Marquise cut is one of the most distinctive among polished diamond shapes. The oval form tapering at either side, reminiscent of a boat's shape from an aerial view, gives the Marquise cut its alias - "navette", translating to "small boat" in French.
Despite its unique shape, the Marquise cut, with its 57 facets, shares a striking similarity with the conventional round brilliant-cut diamond. The brilliance and fire of a Marquise cut diamond are truly spectacular, and its elongated shape flatters the finger, creating an illusion of length.

The Marquise cut and the Diamond prices evolution
As Industry Expert BAUNAT would explain, the Diamond Market has seen diverse trends, with unique cuts like the Marquise steadily gaining popularity. There are a myriad of designs to consider when looking for engagement rings with a marquise diamond. From a solitaire ring that highlights the extraordinary shape of the Marquise cut, to an entourage or halo ring featuring smaller diamonds surrounding the central Marquise jewel, the options are endless. However, choosing the best Marquise cut comes with its considerations. Its large table makes inclusions more noticeable, and perfect symmetry is crucial for any fancy cut. Additionally, the occurrence of bowtie effect - a dark area resembling a fly - is something to consider. A beneficial consultation with a professional can make these decisions easier.
