So I know marquise (marquis?) cuts are not very popular on this forum, but I''ve kinda fallen in love with the shape and how big they look for their carat weight.

Please post your marquise cuts be they in a ring, necklace, etc!

Also, how do you find the sparkle/scintilation/fire of a marquise vs other cuts?

That's lovely!

And... it's 2.4cts - I would've guessed at least three!!

Wow both rings are so gorgeous! Do marquise cuts sparkle have the same sparkle as round brilliants?

If I ever get a marquise, I''d like it to be like this one! I love the ratio in this one.

I met a woman here in China who has a really pretty marquise ring - every time she''s near me I want to ask to look at it more closely - I wonder how she''d respond to me asking to photograph it lmao

I''m starting to like marquis cuts. I think they are making a comeback.

Thanks for the kind comments Lulie, Lucky & Bella. Not sure if they would ever be as popular as they once were. I'm guilty of 'dressing up a marquise' good old days lol

I think marquis cuts are lovely and soooo underrepresented... I love how PSers here have set them in really modern looking bands. Lovely.

I love marquise cuts too. I think that they make the hand look so elegant. My mom''s ring is a 1.5 ct marquise with .5 cttw baguettes on the sides. It looks just like this one, but I don''t have a photo:

I''ve never been a huge fan of Marquise unless it''s for pendants and sometimes earrings, but I loved the shape in this ring.
