Marquise Engagement Rings

Choosing marquise engagement rings

Marquise engagement rings feature an elongated centre stone with a point at each end. The outline is distinctive even in a simple setting, making length-to-width proportions an important part of the choice. Compare the measurements and photographs of the centre rather than using carat weight as a substitute for size.

Framing the pointed outline

Look at how the setting supports both tips and how the claws relate to the curved sides. A plain band keeps the shape prominent, while shoulder details, a halo or side stones bring a different balance. The overall height and width of the mount matter when judging the finished ring.

Choosing diamond colour and origin

Marquise is a shape rather than a colour or gemstone type. Our classic lab grown diamond collection focuses on colourless diamond designs. The coloured lab grown diamond collection is a separate colour-led range. Shape availability varies between designs and materials, so check the actual ring and centre-stone specification.

Does every marquise have the same proportions?

No. Some are wider and fuller, while others are longer and narrower. Compare the length and width together and judge how the outline works with its setting.

What should I consider for a wedding-band pairing?

The elongated centre and basket may extend beyond the band beneath them. Review the profile and compare the engagement ring with the intended wedding band. A straight or shaped band can produce a different fit and visual effect.

A closer look at your shortlist

The setting should protect both points without losing the line of the stone. Check the height above the finger and how the ends interact with gloves or clothing. A shaped or open wedding ring may be worth comparing where a straight band leaves a gap.
