What is a marquise diamond?
A marquise diamond is an elongated elliptical shape with two pointed ends. It is the unique shape of this diamond cut that makes it so special. Marquise diamonds are a fancy cut and typically have around 58 facets.

Marquise diamond cut guide

Like every diamond, it is a good idea to consider colour when buying a marquise diamond. Marquise diamonds tend to show colour more than most other diamond shapes. For example, a G colour marquise may look closer to an H colour diamond. For this reason, choose the colour of your diamond carefully.
Marquise cut diamond - symmetry
Symmetry is another thing to consider when buying a marquise diamond. This diamond shape is less forgiving than other shapes and will be easier to spot if it isn't symmetrical. We recommend selecting a diamond with Excellent or Very Good symmetry for this reason.

Length to width ratio is another thing you may wish to consider when buying a marquise diamond. The most popular length to width ratios for marquise diamonds are between 1.70-2.15, and it is determined by dividing the length of the diamond by its width. It is good to note that no marquise shape is superior to another, and the one you select should complement your jewellery setting.
Marquise cut diamond - clarity
Diamond clarity, like with all diamonds, is important to consider when choosing a marquise diamond. You will want to consider where inclusions are present within the diamond, as any inclusions in the middle of the stone will be a lot more visible than any at the tips.
