Marquise Engagement Rings
Among the most-loved pieces in our collection is the marquise engagement ring. Elegant and elongating, the marquise’s tapered points and sweeping curve deliver brilliant sparkle with a striking, finger-lengthening silhouette.
What Makes Marquise Engagement Rings So Special?
The marquise brilliant blends the fire of a round with a distinctive, elongated outline. Its generous face-up spread often looks larger at the same carat, and the shape flatters the hand with graceful length and vintage-meets-modern appeal.
At House of Diamonds, we refine length-to-width ratio, head height, and band balance so your marquise sits comfortably, looks proportionate from every angle, and shines in everyday wear.
The Craftsmanship Behind a Marquise Solitaire
Point protection and symmetry are key. We typically use V-tips or well-shaped claws on both points, align prongs for even geometry, and polish edges for a smooth, low-snag profile. Thoughtful setting height preserves sparkle while keeping the ring practical for daily life.

FAQ: Marquise Engagement Rings
What is a marquise cut?
An elongated brilliant-cut diamond with two pointed ends and a curved middle—sometimes called a “navette”.
Do marquise diamonds look bigger than rounds?
Often yes—the elongated outline offers more finger coverage and can appear larger at the same carat weight.
What length-to-width ratio should I choose?
Classic looks are ~1.85–2.10. Shorter (1.75–1.85) feels softer; longer (2.10–2.25) looks sleeker. We’ll show side-by-side options.
How are the points protected?
We use V-tips or shaped claws over each point, plus well-aligned side prongs for strength and clean symmetry.
Do marquise cuts have a bow-tie?
Some do. We curate stones with balanced light so any bow-tie is minimal and the sparkle stays even.
North–south or east–west—what’s the difference?
North–south elongates the finger in a classic way; east–west feels modern and chic. Both styles can be set low for everyday comfort.
Will my wedding band sit flush?
Often with a compact basket and considered head height. Some designs suit a gentle contour band—we’ll advise during design.
Can a marquise ring be resized?
Usually within 1–2 sizes depending on the band and any pavé. Plain bands are especially resize-friendly.
How do I clean a marquise ring?
Soak in warm water with mild dish soap, gently brush around/under the head with a soft toothbrush, rinse and pat dry. Ultrasonic is fine for most diamonds.
