Marquise diamonds have made their way in and out of the spotlight over the years, influenced by celebrity trends. This cut’s sleek sophistication makes it a classic choice for engagement rings that stand the test of time. Traditionally set vertically, a marquise diamond is most known for its regal, elongated silhouette. But this diamond shape is making a resurgence in modern designs set horizontally, or east-west, along the length of the band. 

Solitaire engagement rings really highlight the unique shape of a marquise diamond. This cut has a vintage feel, and halo rings with elegant frames will enhance that look. Want to learn more about this diamond shape? Read our marquise-cut diamonds buying guide!
