Marquise Cut

Marquise cut engagement rings owe their attraction to the French monarchy of the mid 1700s. It is said that Louis XV requested a diamond be cut to emulate the smile of his beloved mistress, the Marchioness Madame de Pompadour. What greater representation of the love between two people, than a diamond that symbolises the emotion and adoration of a couple in love. Perfected in the 1900s to maximise light reflection and give us the modern cut we know today, the lustre and scintillation of a marquise cut diamonds make it a dream choice for engagement rings of today.
