Marquis

The peak of the marquise’s popularity was between 1960 to the 1980s. You probably know a grandma or two, who had this cut in their wedding set.  A marquise can make a short finger look long, and a thicker finger look slim. This cut also has 58 facets, and the high amount of facets helps the scintillation and brilliance shine. While this is a very sparkly cut, this is one you can notice slight color changes in. Usually, this cut has less depth to distract than an RBC so look for one with a higher color grade, or at least make sure it’s not obvious when choosing your stone.
