About the Shape
The elongated Marquise cut has elegant pointed ends, and is referred to as the football-shaped cut, the eye-shaped cut, and the ‘Navette’, meaning a little boat. It has the largest crown surface area than any other diamond cut.
Why this Shape
The rare shape of the stone adds grandeur to the finger of the wearer, and maximises the carat weight of a diamond, making it appear larger than other stones of the same weight.
Did you know?
The Marquise cut is rumoured to have been specifically designed for King Louis XIV of France who wanted a diamond that personified the smile of Marquise de Pompadour. The appeal of the Marquise diamond can be judged by the dozens of songs it finds mention in.
