The marquise cut traces back to 18th century France, when King Louis XV commissioned a diamond shaped after the smile of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour. It's been in use ever since and for good reason. At 2 carats, it's one of the most visually impactful shapes you can wear, and also, make a better value decision at this weight. At CaratBee, 2 carat marquise diamond rings are available in solitaire, halo, hidden halo, and three-stone settings across white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, silver, and platinum. Every stone you buy from us is IGI certified with clean and transparent origins.
A marquise cut diamond has one of the biggest crown areas of any available shape, so face-up, it looks larger than its carat weight suggests. The cost of a marquise cut also runs up to 30% less than a round brilliant diamond, so you're basically getting a larger size and paying less for it.
It also has 58 facets, meaning that it’ll capture and amplify light well. Its unique elongated shape and pointed ends give the illusion of slender, longer fingers when worn in the traditional vertical orientation. In yellow gold especially, the ring gives off a vintage quality that's genuinely hard to find in other cuts.
If you’re into unique cuts and designs, it might also benefit to know that marquise diamonds make up less than 5% of all diamonds sold. If you want something that doesn't look like everyone else's ring, this is a strong starting point.
Elongated shapes like the marquise, oval and pear appear larger per carat than round or princess cuts because of how the weight is distributed across the surface. To put this into perspective, a 2 carat marquise measures approximately 12.82 x 6.52mm face-up, while a round brilliant at the same weight sits closer to 8.2mm. In a marquise cut, the two pointed ends push the stone’s surface area in both directions along the finger. In short, you’re still paying for the same 2 carats but wearing something that is considerably bigger.
At larger carat weights, the marquise gives a lengthening effect to the finger while sitting prominently as a center stone. The vertical orientation it holds, also runs along the natural line of the finger, which flatters most hand sizes.
One thing to be aware of with marquise diamonds is the bow-tie effect, a darker area that can appear across the center of the stone depending on how it is cut. In well-cut diamonds, this effect is minimal, and the stone remains bright and lively across its surface. Because the bow-tie effect is a visual characteristic rather than a grading factor, it won't appear on an IGI certificate. That's why every CaratBee product includes a 360-degree video, allowing you to see the stone under light and evaluate its overall brightness before placing your order.
CaratBee’s 2 carat marquise diamond rings are lab grown, IGI certified, and more affordably priced than mined equivalents at the same grade.
