Marquise engagement rings are oval shaped diamonds which have both ends pointed. Marquise diamonds have 56 facets and are twice as long in length as their width. The 2 to 1, length to width
ratio
is
considered ideal.
A
good cut or make is important. Proportion is also important in that it helps prevent the "bow tie" effect, whereby the centre of the diamond is darker and has reduced brilliance. While the
Marquise
diamond is
by no means the most
favoured shape, it boasts
a
number
of cool properties:
1) The shape of the stone was said to be designed for Louis XIV of France who wanted a diamond fashioned after the Marquise
de
Pompadour's
smile.
2)
The marquise diamond is
considered one of the most
flattering
for
the hand as it makes the finger look more slender.
3) The stone may look bigger than it actually is. The marquis diamond not only
has
a
large surface
area but the
elongated lines can make "the
carat" size look larger.
