As people searched for unusual engagement rings, the engagement ring cut by the Marquise became popular again. The Marquise 's tailoring is unique, looks classic and elegant, and offers you the best of both worlds.
Marquise halo engagement ring have been spotted on some of the most-photographed women in the world, including Victoria Beckham (whose original engagement ring featured a marquise diamond), Catherine Zeta-Jones (who opted for an east-west setting), Portia de Rossi (who also chose an east-west setting, but accented with pink diamonds).
One of the main advantages of the Marquise is that the elongated body can make it look larger than its actual carat weight. Therefore, you can buy the same carat weight, but your stone looks larger than a round one. This will provide some flexibility in your budget and add a halo to the setting, which will further amplify the effect of the stone.
Tips for maintaining diamonds
When buying the marquise halo engagement ring, it is important to consider your lifestyle and how much your ring may be exposed to on a regular basis. If your work or hobby is particularly active, you may want to ensure that the delicate ends of the Marquise gemstones are not stained or chipped. A flush aura (where the aura is the center gemstone on a flat surface) can provide some protection for the tip of the gemstone. However, a floating aura (the center stone is fixed above the aura by a pointed tip) may not protect them, so please consider the aura and your daily life.
WATCH FOR A DIAMOND BOW TIE
Even with a halo, you need to pay attention to the "bow tie" effect of the Marquis diamond. When the diamond's cut surface is not accurately cut, a bow tie will be formed, and when the diamond remains bright, it will form a small power outage effect inside the stone (you guessed it is the shape of the bow tie). Make sure to check any diamond cut by the Marquise you are considering to look for signs of this effect.
Consider your diamond color
When choosing a marquise halo engagement ring, it is also important to pay attention to the color. Because the tips are lighter, they tend to show more color than the center. If you like warm gems, this may not be a problem, but if you like diamonds that are absolutely white, check the color. You may need to increase the rank of your gemologist.
