Marquise Cut Rings
Characteristics of Marquise Cut Rings
Originating from the courts of 18th century France, the marquise diamond shape has a history as intriguing as its design. It's believed that King Louis XV requested a diamond to mimic the captivating lips of his mistress, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, the Marquise de Pompadour. This elongated, boat-like cut offers the illusion of greater size and lends an elegant elongation to the wearer's finger. In contemporary times, it strikes the perfect balance between vintage allure and modern sophistication. At Bob Richards Jewelers, our collection boasts an extensive range of designer marquise cut engagement rings, allowing every love tale to sparkle uniquely.
