10 Marquise Diamond Rings We Love

  The elongated silhouettes and graceful curves of marquise cut diamonds make them an eye-catching choice for the centerpiece of an engagement ring. If you are attracted to the elongated shape of an oval cut, but desire something more distinctive, a marquise cut diamond engagement ring might be right for you! Marquise cut diamonds are faceted, allowing them to give off the dazzling sparkle and brilliance offered by an oval diamond, with a striking vintage flair. Their long, narrow shape is not only flattering and elegant, but also a great option for the budget-conscious, as marquise diamonds tend to appear larger than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight. This is because the marquise diamond’s extended shape maximizes its surface area, resulting in a larger appearance. While this feminine shape looks striking in nearly any setting, these 10 marquise cut engagement rings are our current favorites:
