Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Marquise Cut Diamond size chart?
The chart shows how each carat weight translates into millimeter dimensions, helping you understand the actual size of your marquise diamond before buying.
Do marquise diamonds look bigger than other shapes?
Yes, marquise diamonds appear larger than most shapes of the same carat because of their elongated form and pointed ends, which create the illusion of greater size.
What is the ideal length-to-width ratio for a marquise cut diamond?
A ratio between 1.75 and 2.25 is preferred for a classic marquise shape that looks elegant and balanced.
Why does my marquise diamond show a dark line in the center?
That’s known as the “bow-tie effect.” It happens due to light reflection patterns and can be minimized by choosing a well-cut diamond.
What size marquise diamond is best for an engagement ring?
Marquise diamonds between 0.75 and 2.0 carats are popular for engagement rings, offering both brilliance and finger-flattering length.
Are marquise diamonds more fragile than other cuts?
Their pointed ends can be more delicate, so choosing a protective setting like a bezel or V-prong helps prevent chipping.
