A marquise diamond is loved for its distinctive shape, pointed ends and brilliant sparkle. Originating in 18th century France, the cut was created at the request of King Louis XV to mirror the smile of his beloved, Marquise de Pompadour. Nowadays, this cut is a standout choice for those who want a diamond that feels refined and even a little unexpected.  Â
At GS Diamonds, you can explore marquise diamonds for sale online or in-store, including GIA-certified natural stones in different carat weights, proportions, colours and clarity grades. Whether you are comparing prices, or searching to buy a natural marquise cut diamond, our collection makes it easy to find a stone that suits your style and budget. Â
The marquise diamond’s price depends on the 4Cs: cut quality, colour, clarity and carat weight. Shape also plays an important role. Because GIA does not assign a cut grade to fancy shapes like marquise diamonds, it is important to assess proportions, symmetry, polish and light performance with expert guidance. Â
A well-chosen marquise-shaped diamond can appear larger than other shapes of the same carat weight due to its extended surface area. This makes the shape marquise especially appealing for engagement rings, where presence on the finger matters. Â
