Marquise Diamond: Royal Elegance and Refined Form | RR Jewellery

The Marquise Diamond – Royal Elegance Line

Elongated, graceful and undeniably chic, the marquise cut diamond has a presence that’s as powerful as it is powerful. This iconic cut hails from 18th century France, where legend has it it was commissioned by King Louis XV to commemorate the smile of his beloved, the Marquise de Pompadour.

The marquise diamond is a real eye-catcher: elongated with a point , and a shape that optically lengthens the finger. The result is a dramatic, visible silhouette that exudes luxury and elegance.

What makes the Marquise diamond special?

  • Optically larger: thanks to the elongated surface, the stone appears larger than it is.

  • Slim effect: the shape optically elongates the finger and radiates refinement.

  • Royal character: a classic choice with a historical touch.

The balance in a marquise cut is crucial: the proportions, symmetry and finish of the points determine the brilliance and elegance of the diamond.

The most beautiful settings for marquise diamonds

This distinctive shape comes into its own in settings that make optimum use of its length, line and light:

💍 Solitaire setting – streamlined focus

In a solitary design, all attention is on the marquise shape. Set high in a claw setting, strong with 6 of 8 legs to protect the vulnerable points.

✨ Halo setting – extra framing for the drama

A halo of small diamonds follows the contours of the stone and enhances the royal feel. Ideal if you like sparkle without compromising elegance.

🔲 Bezel setting – tight and secure

For a modern and dry look, a bezel setting is perfect. The edge metal fully embraces the marquise diamond and gives a minimalist look.

🌿 East-West setting – creative and contemporary

Instead of vertically, the marquise is placed horizontally. A daring choice that gives a contemporary twist to this classic cut.

The meaning of the marquise form

The marquise diamond stands for royalty, refinement and power . It is a cut for those who choose with vision and dare to go for something special - classic, but never boring.

In summary – For those who will abandon elegance

The marquise diamond is perfect for those seeking an intricate shape with striking flair. Whether you opt for a classic solitaire or a glamorous halo, the marquise is a true queen among diamonds.

At RR Jewellery we say: true beauty starts with unique design — and a story you wear.
