The shape of a marquise diamond can maximize carat weight, giving you a much larger-looking diamond. This brilliant-cut diamond looks beautiful set with round or pear-shaped side stones, and the length of the marquise makes fingers appear long and slender.

When looking for a marquise shaped diamond, the length to width ratio should be between 1.6 and 2.25 and table and depth percentages between 53 -60% and 50 - 65% respectively.
