The Allure of Marquise Diamonds

Marquise-cut diamonds, with their elongated shape and pointed ends, create an illusion of greater size, making the wearer's fingers appear longer and more slender. This distinctive and sophisticated look has made Marquise diamonds a sought-after choice for engagement rings and statement jewelry pieces, especially here in Singapore where elegance and refinement are highly valued.

Anatomy of a Marquise-Cut Diamond

Originating in 18th-century France, the Marquise cut was commissioned by King Louis XV, who wanted a diamond that resembled the lips of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour.

Initially known as the "Navette" cut due to its boat-like shape, the Marquise diamond features 56 facets, keel points at both ends, and a gracefully curved belly. This unique anatomy creates a stunning display of light and sparkle, making the Marquise cut a true standout.
