At TrueCut, we celebrate individuality — the way every diamond shape tells its own story.
If the round cut is classic and the oval is graceful, the Marquise-Cut Diamond is unapologetically bold. With its elongated form and pointed tips, it radiates sophistication, confidence, and a touch of vintage charm.
The marquise cut is for those who love timeless beauty with a distinct edge — a diamond that dares to stand out.

The Story Behind the Marquise Cut
The marquise diamond dates back to 18th-century France, said to be commissioned by King Louis XV, who wanted a diamond shaped like the smile of his beloved, the Marquise de Pompadour.
Today, the marquise cut — also known as the navette (“little boat”) — is admired for its unique silhouette that makes the stone appear larger and more dramatic than many other cuts of the same carat weight.
At TrueCut, we see the marquise cut as the perfect balance of history, geometry, and romance — a design that embodies the brand’s values of craftsmanship and individuality.
Why People Love Marquise Diamonds
-
💫 Illusion of size
The elongated shape gives a 15–25% larger visual spread than round or cushion diamonds of equal carat weight. -
💍 Flattering elongation
Its shape naturally lengthens the fingers, adding elegance and grace. -
✨ Distinctive sparkle
Like the oval, the marquise uses a brilliant facet pattern, maximizing fire and scintillation while maintaining its unique silhouette.
The Science of the Marquise Shape
A well-cut marquise diamond depends heavily on symmetry and proportion.
TrueCut recommends:
-
Length-to-width ratio: Between 1.75 and 2.25 for balanced proportions.
-
Cut quality: Excellent or Very Good for optimal brilliance.
-
Prong protection: The pointed tips should always be secured by prongs to prevent chipping.
Each TrueCut marquise diamond is lab-grown, certified, and precisely cut to ensure symmetry, sparkle, and durability — all without the mined diamond markup.

Clarity: VS1–VS2 for a clean appearance.
-
Color: G–H for a bright, white look without overpaying.
-
Setting: Ensure the pointed ends are protected by prongs or a bezel for durability.
