Our Brisbane jewellery store has marquise cut diamond engagement rings available to suit all buyers. Also known as the “Navette” shape which means little boat the marquise is based off the faceting of the modern brilliant cut with two pointed elongated ends. The pointed ends can be susceptible to chipping so it is essential to set correctly with sufficient support. With 58 facets, larger crown and shallower depth the size of this cut will always appear larger than the actual carat weight.
The marquise cut diamond has its history back in the 18th century with the French King, Louis XV.

Throughout the 20th century, modifications culminated into the modern cut that we know today with popularity peaking in the 70’s for ladies looking for a slim attractive engagement ring with a difference.
