DIAMOND SHAPE

The Marquise cut diamond

A two-pointed silhouette, cut to maximise visible surface area, the shape that most visually elongates the finger.

Origin

Legend has it that it was commissioned by Louis XV to evoke the smile of the Marquise de Pompadour, an 18th-century court story.

Character

The shape that gives the impression of the largest diamond for a given carat weight, thanks to its elongated surface.

Ideal for

Those who want a dramatic effect and an elongated finger silhouette, a bold choice, rarely discreet.

Dealer's tip

The two points are the most fragile areas of the diamond, I always recommend a setting that protects them (V-shaped prongs).
