Marquise Cut

A marquise cut diamond is a stylish and luxurious diamond that not only has the original name “marquise”, but also has a royal and, of course, romantic history that few people have heard of.

In the 18th century, King Louis XV of France ordered court jewelers to design a diamond that resembles the lips of his mistress, the Marquise Madame de Pompadour, which over time and with the updating of marquise production technologies became popular in its current form.

A marquise cut diamond has 58 facets with an oval shape, with both ends pointed at the beginning and end, and is sometimes called an eye-shaped or boat cut.

Marquise is an old and popular cut, although its popularity in the world does not reach the level of round and princess cuts, but in the East, especially in Iran, it has many fans.
