If you want your diamond to look as large as possible for your budget, the marquise cut is statistically the #1 choice in the gemological world.
Because the marquise cut is shallowly proportioned across its elongated boat-shaped ("navette") crown, it carries much less of its carat weight in the pavilion. A 1.00 carat round brilliant measures ~6.5mm, whereas a 1.00 carat marquise diamond measures approximately 10.5mm × 5.0mm. This gives the optical impression of a stone nearly double its carat weight while visually slimming and elongating the wearer's fingers.
Both pointed tips are securely wrapped with protective chevron prongs.
Appears larger face-up than an equivalent round, oval, or princess cut.
Wider curved belly with strong brilliance; preferred for halo settings and multi-stone bands.
