Many young couples are looking for engagement rings that are affordable on a set budget yet still very appealing to the eye and elegant. For many of these jewellery shoppers a marquise engagement ring is just what they are looking for.
The marquis cut has a very long history since it was first designed for a mistress of Louis XIV with her sultry lips as being the prime inspiration for the look. This shape gives this diamond ring the deception of having a larger stone than is actually mounted in the setting.
Not only does the marquis diamond give a larger appearance for an eye-catching engagement ring but it also has a multifaceted cut. This cut will play with the sun to give the diamond a dazzle that makes it even more appealing to those who want a gorgeous diamond for their ring.
A marquis diamond is a beautiful to the eye and shoppers should look for ones that are proportioned correctly. For the best overall appearance a bow-tie affect should be achieved with a stone that is just as wide as it is long. When combined with some accent stones of other precious gems couples can get a unique, elegant ring that looks great without spending a fortune.
