The marquise cut is long, narrow, and pointed at both ends — a shape that maximises visual size and elongates the finger more than almost any other diamond cut.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a marquise diamond look bigger than its actual carat weight?
Yes — its elongated shape gives it one of the largest visual footprints per carat of any diamond shape.
What hand shapes suit a marquise diamond best?
Its elongating effect flatters most hand shapes, which is part of why it's a popular custom request.
