An introduction to Marquise Moissanite

The marquise shape, also known as the horse's eye, is one of the most distinctive shapes, with its slender lines giving the stone a unique character. Visually larger than other shapes of the same carat size, its crystalline fire reflects off the jewelry set and makes the wearer's fingers appear longer and more beautiful.

Origin

The marquise cut is also known as the marquise cut. Its origins can be traced back to the mid-18th century when Louis XV ordered the jewelers of the French court to design a diamond similar to the smile of his mistress, the Baroness de Pompidou.

Introduction

The Marquise Moissanite is oval, with a pointed head and tail, and is known as a 'navette', French for 'small boat'. Its crown is the largest of all cuts, which makes the Marquise Moissanite appear longer and therefore larger than other stones of the same weight.

Strengths

The marquise cut, also known as the horse's eye cut, gives the illusion that the Marquise Moissanite is larger than it is through the narrow cut, which makes the diamond look particularly large. This cut will flatter the shape of your hand and make your fingers look longer. Therefore, if you want a piece that not only shows the size of the diamond but also to some extent the shape of your hand, then Marquise Moissanite is an excellent choice.

Appearance

As well as the size of the diamond itself, the sharp shape contributes to the unique look of the marquise. Marquise diamonds are ideal for solitaire rings and can also be used as the main stone in halo rings. In addition, this gorgeous diamond cut can easily complete a unique jewelry style and is therefore commonly used in necklace and earring designs.

Process requirements

The Marquise Moissanite must be cut with the utmost precision, as failure to align the facets can result in black shading on the Marquise Moissanite. To avoid this, an additional facet must be cut at the base of the diamond to avoid the 'bow effect'. The bow effect is also sometimes seen on the oval, pear, and heart-shaped diamonds.

Marquise Moissanite usually has between 56 and 58 facets, and the symmetry of this cut is important because once set in a ring, the slight imbalance at either end becomes apparent.

Unlike round brilliant diamonds, Marquise Moissanite is less commonly used in engagement rings. Due to its conspicuous shape, this cut is particularly suited to women who seek uniqueness and enjoy unique jewelry. As with the oval diamond, the slender shape helps to make the finger look longer.
