Marquise diamonds are a vintage-inspired shape making a strong comeback, featuring an elongated football-shaped outline with pointed ends — dramatic and finger-lengthening. Marquise cuts face up as one of the largest per carat of any shape. Watch for the bowtie effect and protect the pointed tips with V-prongs. Classic length-to-width ratio: 1.85:1 to 2.10:1.
Milgrain edging (the fine beaded detail along metal edges), filigree (scrollwork metalwork), hand-engraving, and bezel or half-bezel settings are the hallmarks. Our vintage-inspired rings draw from Edwardian, Art Deco, and Victorian design languages without the wear or sizing limitations of actual antiques.
No. We use modern manufacturing and contemporary metal alloys — the detail is vintage, but the durability is modern. Milgrain and filigree are built to last decades of daily wear.
The most popular sizes are 1.5 carat, 2 carat, and 2.5 carat. Marquise cuts face up the largest of any shape — about 20–25% larger than rounds per carat.
Both. RockHer offers GIA-graded natural marquise diamonds and IGI-graded lab-grown marquise diamonds. Lab-grown stones cost 60–80% less than natural at the same specs and are physically identical. Natural diamonds retain stronger long-term value.
