Marquise cut hidden halo engagement rings featuring VRAI Created Diamonds

Your choice of setting should be based entirely on personal preference and taste. However, because the Marquise is the most elongated of fancy shaped diamonds, there are some factors to consider.  If you are worried about snagging or scratching with the Marquise’s two pointed tips, consider a Signature Solitaire or a Signature Bezel in an East-West setting, as well as a Hover. These styles will turn the Marquise on its side, making it less likely to hit or snag.

Art Deco engagement rings are some of the most sought-after vintage-inspired engagement rings today. For a stunning Art Deco Marquise ring, consider a Halo or Halo Dome setting, as well as a Graduated Band with a Marquise at its center.

As it is a reflection of your individual style, you should only buy an engagement ring based on personal preference. However, certain styles featuring Marquise-shaped diamonds have proven to be well-loved for years.

It is considered playful, whimsical, and flirtatious.
