Marquise diamonds have an elongated outline with pointed ends, creating excellent finger coverage and a bold, elegant profile. Their brilliant-style faceting produces lively sparkle, while their shape can appear larger face-up than many diamonds of similar carat weight.
Symmetry is critical: both points should align, the sides should mirror one another and the widest section should feel balanced. Review the bow-tie effect and ensure the setting protects both tips.
What to Compare
- Alignment and symmetry of both points
- Length-to-width ratio
- Bow-tie visibility
- Face-up spread
- Protective V-prongs or bezel coverage
Marquise diamonds work well in solitaire, east-west, halo and three-stone designs. North-south placement creates a lengthening effect; east-west placement gives the classic shape a more contemporary character.
