Marquise Natural Diamonds
The marquise is an elongated brilliant with points at both ends, cut to maximise surface area, so it faces up larger than almost any brilliant shape at the same carat weight. Its boat-like outline dates to the court of Louis XV.
Both points need protecting, and the bow-tie shadow across the centre is worth checking; a length-to-width near 1.90 usually gives the most balanced outline. These are natural stones, formed over billions of years and mined under traceable, conflict-free supply chains. Read what makes a diamond ethical before you choose. Compare it with every other outline in our diamond shapes guide, and get to grips with what actually drives price in our diamond 4Cs guide. Each stone is independently graded and openly priced, ready to set into one of our settings or a piece designed from scratch with you.
