With its long and elliptical shape, a marquise-cut moissanite ring is usually characterized by its tapered edges and a large surface area in the middle. Like a navette or little ship, this unique shape allows for the moissanite stone to give off the same sparkle as a diamond.
King Louis XV, enamored with his mistress, commissioned a diamond cut that would mimic the shape of his mistress’s lips, Marquise de Pompadour. Over the centuries, this cut has remained a favorite since it mixes a bold origin story and an avant-garde aesthetic. Its royal history and uncommon shape make it a top choice for couples who like standing out.
Moissanite is a gemstone made of silicon carbide and was initially mistaken for a diamond when discovered inside a meteorite in 1893. Moissanite stones are known for having a higher refractive index than diamonds, meaning that they produce more fire or rainbow-colored flashes of light than diamonds. When applied to the many facets of a cut like the marquise, their brilliance is doubled. The long facets of a marquise moissanite ring act like mirrors, catching light from every angle and giving incredible sparkle. Additionally, moissanite is incredibly durable, ranking 9.25 on the Mohs scale (a diamond is 10 on the Mohs scale). This strength is crucial for a marquise cut since it protects the delicate cuts from daily wear and tear.
A marquise-shaped ring flatters most hands by making the wearer's finger appear slim and graceful. The slender shape draws our eyes, and the moissanite's sparkle, regardless of its vertical or horizontal placement, makes the ring safely complement almost any human hand.
Our minimalistic solitaire rings cleanly mimic the “little boat” shape of a marquise. Like its name, the solitaire marquise rings feature a single moissanite stone held securely by prongs, highlighting the incredible sparkle a moissanite stone offers.
Like an angel’s halo, our marquise halo settings amplify the sparkle and volume of your marquise moissanite rings. The halo design stars smaller moissanite stones on the border surrounding the centerpiece marquise-cut stone. This style serves a dual purpose of serving as protection to the main stone’s edges while simultaneously increasing the impact and glamour of the engagement ring.
Inspired by 18th-century engagement ring practices, our marquise moissanite engagement rings also feature vintage-inspired elements. We incorporate tiny metal edges called milgrain and put small diamonds studded on the band called the pavé setting method. These small details make the ring reflect its long history, like a family heirloom symbolizing everlasting love.
One major advantage of the marquise cut is its visual output. Because of its length, a marquise stone appears bigger than a round stone of the same carat weight. This allows you to cover a big portion of your finger without needing to increase the carat size or your budget.
While most people wear a marquise moissanite ring vertically to make their fingers appear slender and graceful, horizontal settings are now gaining traction in the modern world. Placing the stone horizontally across the finger creates a contemporary twist on a classic shape.
The metal you choose provides the final touch to your marquise moissanite engagement ring.
