Top 3 Reasons to Choose a Marquise for Your Center Stone
Selecting the perfect center stone for your engagement ring is a deeply personal choice. Among the plethora of dazzling options, the marquise cut stands out for its unique and striking appearance. As a jewelry designer with over a decade of creating engagement and diamond rings here are the three main reasons why you should consider choosing a marquise cut as the centerpiece of your forever ring.
1. Elegant Elongation:
The marquise cut is characterized by its elongated shape with pointed ends, resembling the hull of a ship. This unique silhouette not only exudes elegance but also creates the illusion of longer, more slender fingers. It offers a refined, graceful aesthetic that beautifully complements any hand.

2. Illusion of Size:
Due to its elongated shape, a marquise-cut diamond often appears larger than other cuts of the same carat weight. This can be a game-changer for individuals who desire a significant-looking stone without necessarily having to invest in a higher carat weight. It allows you to achieve a bold and striking look within your budget.
