Marquise Shape Diamonds Marquise Shape Diamonds are one of the true classy fancy shaped diamonds. A nicely proportioned Marquise shape diamond has a very feminine, classy look about it. It's like a beautiful white swan covered with diamonds. It is one of those shapes that you love with passion. A marquise shape diamond can look a lot bigger for it's weight than most other shapes and usually looks stunning on a long ladies finger with long manicured nails. This shape is very suitable as a solitaire, claw, half bezel or full bezel set. Marquise shape diamonds contain around 56 facets and are best proportioned when length is approximately twice the width, but it does also depend on personal taste as the 2:1 ratio is a text-book guide only. There is nothing wrong with preferring a fatter or longer marquise diamond if that's what you like, as sometimes a fat or skinny marquise shape diamond can suit a particular jewellery style even more. The key is the sparkle of the diamond, as a bright, sparkly diamond will always look good - no matter how it's proportioned. Search for Marquise Shape Diamonds |
