The Aconcagua Diamond Ring

The Aconcagua engagement ring features a GIA-certified marquise cut diamond of 0.39 ct, flanked by 86 round brilliant diamonds of exceptional quality, with a total weight of approximately 0.96 carats.

Marquise diamonds captivate with their distinctive elongated shape and graceful curves. Named after the smile of the Marquise de Pompadour, these diamonds are prized for their elegant silhouette and exceptional brilliance.

Whether used as a solitaire or accent stone, marquise diamonds add a touch of sophistication and romance to any jewelry piece, making them a timeless choice for those seeking a unique and memorable design.

The Royal Cut

Marquise cut diamonds feature an elongated elliptical shape with pointed ends, creating a distinctive football or eye shape. This dramatic silhouette maximizes carat weight, making marquise diamonds appear larger than other shapes of the same weight. Their regal history and finger-flattering proportions make them perfect for those seeking bold, romantic elegance.

Why Choose Marquise Cut Diamonds?

Maximum Size Appearance
Marquise cuts have the largest surface area of any diamond shape, appearing up to 15% larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight. Maximum visual impact for your investment.

Finger-Flattering
The elongated shape creates the illusion of longer, slimmer fingers—one of the most flattering diamond shapes to wear.

Brilliant Sparkle
Modified brilliant cut with 58 facets delivers exceptional fire and brilliance from every angle.

Unique & Romantic
The distinctive shape stands out from traditional cuts, perfect for those seeking something truly unique with romantic history.

Marquise Cut Quality Factors

Symmetry - Critical
Both pointed ends should be perfectly aligned. Wings (curved sides) should be symmetrical. Minimal bow-tie effect.

Color
The pointed ends can show color more than the center. Consider G-H color or higher for white gold/platinum settings.

Clarity
VS2 or higher recommended. The brilliant facets help hide minor inclusions.

Protecting the Points
The pointed ends are vulnerable to chipping. Always choose settings with prongs protecting both points.
