The marquise lab grown diamond is the ultimate statement piece for those who love drama, history, and a bit of a vintage flair. With its distinctive "boat-shaped" silhouette and two pointed ends, the marquise was originally designed to mimic the perfect smile of a Marquise in the French court, and it hasn’t lost any of its regal charm. At Lucenjuri, we love the marquise because it offers the greatest "face-up" size of almost any shape, giving you a bold, striking presence that feels both edgy and incredibly feminine.
Choosing a marquise diamond from our collection means choosing a stone that was selected for its perfect proportions and graceful "belly." Because of its long, narrow shape, the marquise is the undisputed champion of elongating the hand, making the fingers look long and slender. Whether you set yours in a traditional vertical orientation or go for a bold "east-west" look, our marquise lab diamonds provide a brilliant, head-turning sparkle that stands out in any crowd.
How to Find Your Marquise Lab Diamond
Finding a high-quality marquise is all about the "smile." Since this shape is so elongated, it takes a keen eye to ensure the stone looks balanced and bright. We personally vet our marquise diamonds for these three professional details:
- Symmetry is Everything: We look for a "mirror image" effect. If you were to fold the diamond in half, both ends and both sides should line up perfectly. This ensures the stone looks balanced and intentional on your hand.
- The Bow-Tie Balance: Like ovals and pears, marquise cuts can show a dark "bow-tie" shadow in the center. We prioritize stones where the faceting is crisp enough to keep this shadow minimal, ensuring the diamond stays lively from point to point.
- The Belly and the Points: We look for a "Goldilocks" width—not too chubby and not too thin. You want a graceful curve in the center (the belly) that tapers into two sharp, centered points.
Why Choose Lucenjuri Marquise Lab Grown Diamonds?
What sets a Lucenjuri marquise cut apart is our eye for "Light Performance." We believe a diamond needs to do more than just meet a grade on a piece of paper; it needs to have a life of its own. We personally vet our stones to ensure they have that crisp, high-energy sparkle that makes this elongated silhouette so famous. Because we specialize in lab grown diamonds, we’re able to provide stones with exceptional clarity and color at a much more accessible value. This means you don’t have to compromise, you can treat yourself to a larger, more impactful center stone that truly highlights those bold, regal lines.
We believe that true luxury should be as ethical as it is beautiful. Our marquise lab-created diamonds are 100% genuine carbon crystals, possessing the same 10/10 hardness as any mined stone. By choosing lab grown, we can offer you a stone with incredible brilliance while keeping the origin entirely transparent and modern.
Popular Pairings for Marquise Diamonds
The marquise is a total "style rebel" that looks breathtaking in creative settings. We love it paired with:
- The V-Prong Solitaire: To protect those delicate points while letting the diamond be the star, a V-prong setting is a must. It highlights the sharp silhouette while keeping the stone secure.
- Vintage-Inspired Designs: The marquise has a deep historical soul, and it looks incredible when paired with intricate metalwork. It pairs particularly well with a vintage-styled setting, like our Francis Three-Stone Engraved ring, where the detail of the band complements the regal drama of the stone.
- Chevron or "Tiara" Bands: The pointed end of a marquise nests perfectly into a curved or V-shaped wedding band, creating a "tiara" effect that is incredibly romantic and modern.
FAQs: Marquise Lab Grown Diamonds
Do marquise diamonds look bigger than other shapes?
Yes! If you’re looking for the most "bang for your buck" in terms of size, the marquise is the winner. Because of its long, narrow silhouette, a 1-carat marquise will almost always look significantly larger than a 1-carat round. It’s a fantastic way to get a high-impact look on a budget.
Which way should a marquise diamond face?
Most people wear them vertically (pointing up and down), which is what gives you that incredible finger-elongating effect. However, we are seeing a huge trend toward "east-west" settings, where the diamond sits horizontally across the finger. It’s a very modern, chic way to wear a classic shape.
Are marquise diamonds more prone to chipping?
Because they have two sharp points, they are a little more delicate at the ends. However, as long as you choose a setting that protects those tips—like V-prongs or a bezel setting—they are perfectly resilient for everyday wear. We always make sure our settings are designed to keep those points safe.
Does a marquise diamond show a bow-tie?
Almost all elongated diamonds have some degree of a "bow-tie" shadow in the center. At Lucenjuri, we hand-select stones where the bow-tie is minimal and well-blended, so it doesn't distract from the overall sparkle of the diamond.
What is the best setting for a marquise cut?
For maximum sparkle and security, we love a six-prong setting that includes V-prongs on the ends. If you lead a very active lifestyle, a bezel setting is a stunning, modern choice that wraps the entire stone in a thin collar of gold, keeping it completely snag-free.
