Marquise Engagement Rings & Marquise Diamond Rings in Atlanta

Marquise is one cut among many, and you can browse engagement rings in every other shape too.

Marquise engagement rings — also called marquise cut diamond rings or navette rings — combine art deco heritage with modern brilliance. The elongated silhouette and pointed ends maximize carat appearance and create a flattering, finger-elongating effect, making the marquise a distinctive alternative to the classic round solitaire. Our Atlanta master jewelers offer marquise diamond rings in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 carat sizes across white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum — in solitaire, halo, three-stone, east-west, vintage, and unique designs. Both natural and lab-grown marquise center stones are available, and we can source a stone for you to see in person. Each marquise diamond engagement ring at ATL Luxury Jewelry is handcrafted to order in our Snellville store.

Most pieces shown here are engagement ring mountings — the setting on its own, without a center stone. To browse center stones, visit our loose diamonds & gems page, or call us at (704) 684-7530 to talk through which diamond fits best.

What Is a Marquise Cut Diamond?

The marquise cut — also the navette, French for “little boat” — is an elongated diamond with 56 brilliant facets and two tapered, pointed ends. Commissioned by King Louis XV for the Marquise de Pompadour, it’s one of the few cuts with documented royal origins.

  • Largest face-up per carat — a 1ct marquise looks visually larger than a 1ct round of the same grade, with full brilliant-cut fire.
  • Elongating — the pointed ends make the finger appear longer.
  • Best ratio — the most flattering length-to-width range is generally 1.85–2.10.

Why ATL Luxury Jewelry for Your Marquise Engagement Ring

Center stones over half a carat come with a GIA report (natural) or an IGI report (lab-grown). We source both natural and lab-grown marquise diamonds across the full color (D–J) and clarity (FL–SI2) range, and we can source a stone for you to see in person. Every ring includes lifetime cleaning and prong-tightening.

Choosing Your Marquise Diamond

Length-to-width ratio variations — the most flattering range is 1.85 to 2.10

Three characteristics matter most when selecting a marquise — we hand-select stones with excellent or very good symmetry and discuss bowtie candidly:

  • Symmetry — both points perfectly aligned along the center axis.
  • Bowtie management — a dark optical pattern across the center; well-cut stones minimize it.
  • Point integrity — sharp, undamaged tips.

Marquise diamond pricing typically runs 10–25% lower than round brilliants of equivalent quality because the marquise rough yields less waste during cutting. This makes the marquise an excellent value option for clients prioritizing visual size without sacrificing certification quality.

Marquise Diamond Rings by Carat — 1ct, 2ct, 3ct, 4ct, 5ct

Because the marquise has the largest face-up area of any standard cut, carat-for-carat it looks visually larger than rounds, ovals, or cushions of the same weight:

  • 1 carat — ~10mm × 5mm; reads closer to a 1.25ct round.
  • 2 carat — ~12.5mm × 6.5mm; substantial finger presence with art-deco elegance.
  • 3 carat — ~14mm × 7mm; makes a statement.
  • 4 & 5 carat — extend to 15.5mm and 17mm in length, dominating the finger with classic Hollywood-era impact.

All sizes come in natural and lab-grown. Lab-grown marquise diamonds typically cost 50–70% less than natural stones of equivalent grade — making larger sizes (3ct+) particularly attainable. We source and present stones at your target carat, length-to-width ratio, and color grade for in-person review.

Marquise Engagement Rings by Metal — Gold, Platinum, Rose Gold, Yellow Gold

Metal choice changes the entire mood of a marquise ring. Available in 14K or 18K gold (white, yellow, rose) and platinum — 18K offers richer color saturation than 14K.

  • White gold & platinum — cool, modern, emphasizes brilliance; pairs seamlessly with colorless (D–F) centers. Platinum is the most secure for V-prong tip protection of the marquise’s vulnerable points.
  • Yellow gold — vintage warmth and art-deco character; harmonizes with slightly warmer (G–J) diamonds while masking subtle warmth.
  • Rose gold — romantic and contemporary, flattering on every skin tone.

Marquise Setting Styles

Because the pointed ends of a marquise diamond are vulnerable to chipping, setting choice is structurally important — not just aesthetic. The most protective and classic options are:

V-prong marquise solitaire engagement ring in white gold on cream linen

V-Prong Solitaire

Shielded prongs hug each point — the most classic and protective marquise setting style.

Bezel-set marquise diamond engagement ring with continuous platinum rim on cream linen

Bezel

A continuous metal rim encases the entire stone — the most secure option, with a modern aesthetic.

Marquise three-stone engagement ring with pear-shaped side stones in platinum

Three-Stone

Pear-shaped or trillion side stones complement the marquise center, symbolizing past, present, and future. Browse three stone rings.

East-west marquise engagement ring set horizontally in yellow gold

East-West

The marquise is set horizontally instead of vertically — a contemporary, art-deco-inspired look.

Marquise halo engagement ring with diamond halo and pavé band

Halo

A ring of smaller diamonds frames the center stone, adding sparkle and visually enlarging the marquise.
