Marquise cut diamonds, also known as cat eye shapes, are characterized by their oblong, elongated shape with pointed ends. This unique shape is often enhanced by triangular and kite-shaped facets, which maximize brilliance and sparkle. Marquise diamonds are available in various size ratios, from long and slender to short and wide, each offering a distinct look. The elongated diamond shape design makes these diamonds appear larger in carat weight than other more symmetrical fancy shapes, which can be particularly flattering on the wearer's finger. Traditionally, marquise-shaped diamonds have been a popular choice for engagement rings and can be set in several ways: vertically, horizontally, or as accent side stones. This versatility allows for a wide range of design possibilities. Although often considered a vintage style, marquise diamonds have seen a resurgence in popularity, especially when set with a modern twist. One contemporary trend is to set the diamond east-west rather than the traditional north-south orientation, providing a fresh and unique look.
Marquise shape diamonds are stunning whether placed in a classic prong setting or a sleek bezel setting. Their brilliant faceting and distinctive shape make them a standout choice for those seeking an elegant and eye-catching engagement ring.
