Collection: Marquise Diamond Rings

The marquise diamond engagement ring combines the most flattering stone silhouette in fine jewellery with the weight of one of the most significant gestures a person can make. The marquise cut's elongated pointed outline lengthens the finger visually, creating a look of extraordinary elegance and confidence. And because the marquise cut retains more diamond weight in its outline than any round or cushion cut, it delivers more visual ring per carat — a marquise diamond always looks larger than its weight suggests.

Our marquise diamond engagement ring collection spans every setting style — solitaire, halo, vintage, antique, three stone, east west, Dutch, and bespoke. Available in natural and lab grown diamond and moissanite across 14k and 18k yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum, with full IGI or GIA certification on every stone.

A vintage marquise engagement ring is one of the most sought-after styles in the collection — and the reason is deeply connected to the marquise cut's own history. The marquise cut was reputedly created for King Louis XV of France in the eighteenth century, and it has been a feature of the finest vintage jewellery ever since. Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco jewellery all embrace the marquise for its dramatic pointed outline and extraordinary finger-flattering properties.

Our vintage marquise engagement rings span a full range of period-influenced designs — milgrain detailing, filigree metalwork, floral motifs, and geometric Art Deco settings that frame the marquise cut beautifully. Vintage marquise diamond rings, vintage marquise engagement ring settings, and vintage style marquise engagement rings are all available in both natural and lab grown diamond. Yellow gold is the most popular metal for vintage marquise styles, though rose gold gives a particularly warm, romantic vintage character.

Unique marquise engagement rings and unique marquise diamond rings are among the most-searched terms in the category — and they reflect something true about the marquise cut's personality. The marquise is inherently more unconventional than a round or oval diamond. Its pointed tips, dramatic elongation, and historical character make it a shape that attracts buyers who want a ring that is genuinely different from what everyone else is wearing.

Our unique marquise engagement rings collection includes east west marquise settings, marquise rings with unusual side stone combinations, nature-inspired marquise settings, two-tone metal marquise designs, and marquise diamonds in coloured gemstone and mixed-material settings. Unusual unique marquise engagement rings — where the design deliberately subverts the expected — are among the most popular requests in our bespoke service.

An antique marquise engagement ring connects a buyer to a centuries-long tradition of fine jewellery craftsmanship in which the marquise cut played a central role. Antique marquise diamond engagement rings and Victorian antique marquise diamond rings in particular carry an authenticity and character that contemporary designs can reference but never fully replicate — the hand-finished metalwork, the slightly softer cut proportions of older marquise diamonds, and the patina of aged precious metal all contribute to a ring with genuine historical presence.

Our antique marquise engagement ring collection draws on these design traditions while delivering the setting security and stone quality of contemporary craftsmanship. Available in natural diamond across yellow gold and platinum, with antique-finish options on request through our bespoke service.

A marquise solitaire diamond ring is the purest expression of what makes the marquise cut so captivating — the elongated pointed outline fully exposed, the large face-up surface unobscured, and the entire visual weight of the ring carried by one exceptional stone. A solitaire setting allows maximum light entry around the perimeter of the marquise, enabling the brilliant-cut facets to deliver the cut's characteristic combination of sparkle and dramatic silhouette.

Our marquise diamond solitaire collection spans classic two-prong "V-tip" settings that protect the pointed ends of the marquise while maximising the elongated outline, through four-prong and six-prong solitaire configurations, in natural and lab grown diamond and moissanite across all metals and carat weights. The solitaire marquise engagement ring is our most popular individual setting style.

A marquise halo engagement ring surrounds the elongated centre marquise diamond with a border of smaller brilliant-cut accent diamonds, following the distinctive pointed outline of the marquise to create a marquise-shaped halo that amplifies the stone's dramatic visual presence significantly. The halo is particularly effective on a marquise because the accent diamonds follow and reinforce the cut's unique silhouette rather than constraining it.

Our marquise halo engagement ring, halo marquise engagement ring, and marquise diamond halo engagement ring collection includes single halo designs following the marquise outline, round halo designs that contrast with the pointed marquise centre, and double halo marquise ring options. Available in natural and lab grown diamond across all metals.

The Dutch marquise is a specific marquise cut proportion that is wider and fuller than a standard marquise — typically with a length-to-width ratio closer to 1.5:1 compared to the standard marquise's 1.75:1 to 2:1 ratio. The Dutch marquise sits differently on the finger, with a slightly rounder belly that creates a more vintage, antique-inspired look. Many buyers who find the standard marquise too long or too pointed prefer the Dutch marquise proportion for its softer, more romantic character.

Our Dutch marquise engagement ring and Dutch marquise diamond engagement ring collection spans solitaire, halo, and vintage settings in the Dutch marquise proportion, in natural and lab grown diamond across all metals. The Dutch marquise pairs particularly well with yellow gold vintage settings where its softer proportions complement the warmth of the metal.

An east west marquise engagement ring rotates the stone 90 degrees so the pointed tips extend across the width of the finger rather than along its length — a single change that completely transforms the character of the ring. Where a traditional marquise elongates the finger, an east west marquise broadens and frames it, creating a bold, architectural statement that is one of the most distinctive engagement ring designs available.

Our east west marquise engagement ring, horizontal marquise diamond ring, and sideways marquise engagement ring collection spans solitaire and bezel settings. The bezel setting is particularly popular for east west marquise rings — the smooth metal rim protects the vulnerable pointed tips while framing the horizontal stone beautifully.

A three stone marquise engagement ring places the marquise cut's dramatic elongated brilliance at the centre of a design with deep personal meaning — the three stones representing your past, present, and future together. A marquise centre flanked by two smaller marquise side stones creates a continuous pointed sweep from one side of the ring to the other, one of the most striking three stone configurations available. A marquise centre with trillion, pear, or round side stones creates beautiful geometric contrast.

Our three stone marquise engagement ring and marquise diamond ring with baguette side stones collection also includes marquise and baguette combinations that echo the linear character of the marquise with the baguette's step-cut elegance.

A marquise diamond ring with baguettes is one of the most historically celebrated combinations in fine jewellery — the marquise centre stone flanked by rectangular baguette side stones creates a ring with pronounced Art Deco character. The marquise and baguette diamond ring and baguette marquise diamond ring combination has been a signature of the finest Art Deco engagement rings since the 1920s, and it remains one of the most requested vintage-influenced configurations today.

Our marquise diamond ring with baguettes and marquise and baguette diamond engagement ring collection includes both straight baguette and tapered baguette side stone options, alongside marquise and trillion diamond ring combinations that bring a different geometric energy to the three-stone design.

The marquise cut is the most generous shape in fine jewellery for face-up appearance — its elongated outline covers more finger surface per carat than any other diamond shape, and the pointed tips add dramatic visual length that a round or oval diamond of any size cannot replicate.

At one carat, a marquise diamond ring is a striking, present choice that looks significantly larger than a round diamond of the same weight. At one and a half carats the marquise becomes truly impressive. At two carats it is bold and dramatic on the hand. Three carats — our most-searched single carat weight — is spectacular on most fingers, with the elongated outline creating a ring that draws attention from across the room. The 4 carat marquise diamond ring is extraordinary, and our larger sizes — 5 carat, 6 carat, and 7 carat marquise diamonds — are among the most dramatic pieces in our collection. Because the marquise cut retains more weight in its outline than other cuts, buyers considering a 2 or 3 carat round or oval diamond should consider a 1.5 or 2 carat marquise for equivalent or greater visual impact.

Yellow gold is the most historically appropriate and consistently popular metal for a marquise diamond ring — the warm tone of yellow gold echoes the marquise cut's centuries-old heritage and pairs naturally with vintage and antique-influenced settings. Our gold marquise engagement ring, marquise diamond ring gold, and yellow gold marquise engagement rings are available in 14k and 18k across every setting style. Rose gold marquise engagement rings offer a softer, more romantic warmth. White gold marquise diamond engagement rings and platinum marquise diamond rings deliver a clean, modern setting that allows the elongated outline of the marquise to read at full impact without any warm-toned distraction.

Lab grown marquise diamond rings deliver certified marquise diamond quality — the same carbon crystal structure, the same brilliant-cut facet pattern, the same IGI and GIA grading standards — at typically 50-70% less than a natural marquise diamond of equivalent quality. For buyers who want a larger or higher-quality marquise diamond, lab grown makes a 3 or 4 carat stone genuinely accessible. Our lab grown marquise diamond ring, marquise lab grown diamond ring, and lab grown marquise diamond engagement ring collection spans every setting and metal alongside our natural diamond range.

A marquise moissanite engagement ring delivers the dramatic elongated outline and finger-flattering properties of the marquise shape with moissanite's extraordinary fire — a higher refractive index than diamond that produces vivid colourful sparkle throughout the marquise cut's brilliant facets. Our marquise moissanite engagement ring, moissanite marquise engagement rings, and marquise cut moissanite engagement ring collection spans solitaire, halo, and three stone settings in the full range of metals. Marquise moissanite is a particularly effective choice for buyers who want the most dramatic possible visual impact from their engagement ring stone within a set budget.

Pairing a wedding band with a marquise diamond ring requires careful attention to the pointed tips — most standard straight bands leave a gap at the sides of the marquise where the sharp V-tip prongs create an angular profile. A curved or contoured wedding band shaped to follow the marquise outline creates the cleanest, most seamless look. Our wedding band for marquise engagement ring and wedding bands for marquise engagement ring collection includes curved bands designed specifically to nest against the marquise setting profile.

For buyers who want to add further visual interest to their marquise diamond engagement ring after marriage, our ring enhancer for marquise diamond and diamond ring enhancers for marquise diamonds range includes wrap-style enhancers, guard rings, and jacket designs that sit alongside the marquise setting cleanly. Also available: marquise diamond eternity rings and marquise diamond promise rings.

A marquise diamond is an elongated elliptical diamond cut with two pointed ends. The name comes from the French "marquise" — a title of nobility between duke and count — and the cut is said to have been commissioned by King Louis XV of France in the eighteenth century, reportedly to resemble the shape of the lips of his mistress the Marquise de Pompadour. Whether or not this history is accurate, the marquise cut has been associated with elegance and drama in fine jewellery for centuries.

FACE-UP SIZE: The marquise cut has the largest face-up surface area per carat of any diamond cut. A 1 carat marquise diamond covers more finger area than a 1 carat round, oval, cushion, or any other shape. This makes the marquise an outstanding choice for buyers who want maximum visual ring per carat of diamond weight.

MARQUISE vs OVAL: Both are elongated and finger-flattering. The oval has softly rounded ends; the marquise has sharp pointed ends. The marquise is more dramatic and historically distinctive. The oval is more contemporary and universally flattering. The marquise looks larger per carat than an oval.

THE DUTCH MARQUISE: The Dutch marquise is a wider, fuller proportion of the marquise cut — typically a 1.5:1 length-to-width ratio compared to the standard 1.75:1 to 2:1. The Dutch proportion gives a softer, more vintage-influenced look that some buyers strongly prefer.

BOWTIE EFFECT: Marquise diamonds, like oval diamonds, can show a "bowtie" — a dark, shadow-like area in the centre of the stone that occurs when light is not fully returned through the table. A well-cut marquise will minimise the bowtie to a subtle, acceptable shadow. A poorly cut marquise will show a prominent black bowtie that significantly affects the appearance of the stone. Always inspect a marquise diamond in person or via high-quality video before purchasing.

V-TIP PRONGS: The pointed ends of a marquise diamond require special "V-tip" or "claw" prongs that cup and protect the sharp points. These are more vulnerable to chipping than any part of a round or cushion diamond, so prong condition and quality are particularly important for a marquise diamond ring.
