Marquise Cut Signature Series
Starting at $106
Legend says that the name of this cut came when King Louis XV commissioned his jeweler to make a gemstone in the shape of his mistress lips: the Marquise Madame de Pompadour. Light passes through the back of the gemstone due to the criticality of the angles needed to reflect the gemstone being too steep. The crown cut is sometimes modified in the Marquise to form what is called a French Tip, where the bezel facet at the point of the gemstone is eliminated. Diamond Nexus Labs stays in the sixty percent range for this lovely cut, and to avoid extremely thin girdles. The ideal ratio of length to width should be about twice the length as the gemstone is wide (2:1 aspect ratio). The Marquise brilliant contains 58 facets.
