For a while there, a marquise-cut diamond ring smacked of dated 1980s style. It was basically the gemstone equivalent of a mullet.
Fast-forward a few decades, however, and the cut is the essence of chic so much so that the Natural Diamond Council all but pronounced it the silhouette of the year in its latest trend report.
For all its contemporary appeal, the marquise-cut is far from new. On the contrary, it’s the only cut to boast a centuries-old noble heritage. In 1745, King Louis XV of France is said to have commissioned a diamond to be cut in the shape of his lover’s lips. Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, also known as the Marquise de Pompadour, lives on in the countless rings that continue to be made in her pouty likeness.
