The Marquise of luxuriance

The Marquise cut has a history dating back to the 18th century when it was commissioned by King Louis XIV of France. The cut was supposedly inspired by the smile of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour, hence the name.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Marquise cut is popular for its brilliance and fire, showcasing the diamond's ability to reflect light and sparkle. It's important, however, to choose a high-quality cut, as the shape's long lines can sometimes accentuate any flaws or inclusions in the diamond.

While the Marquise cut may not be as common as the round brilliant or princess cuts, its distinctive appearance and association with luxury make it a popular choice for individuals seeking a unique and glamorous diamond engagement ring or other jewelry pieces. It's a cut that stands out and is often favoured by those who appreciate bold and sophisticated styles.
