Aura Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring Setting with a Halo

Marquise diamonds are unique, and always have had unique designs to go along with them, so they may not be everyone’s favourite. That said, if this diamond shape is your favourite for your engagement ring, it’s definitely your style, rather than “out of style”.

Typically they’re less expensive than round brilliant cuts. Because they have a larger surface area from above, a marquise diamond of the same weight will often look larger than a round brilliant diamond.

While the marquise diamond doesn’t signify anything in particular, it does have an interesting history: King Louis XV of France wanted a diamond cut that matched the lips of Marquise de Pompadour. So if you’re looking for romance in your diamond engagement ring, this might be just the ticket.

We don’t know if a design element like the halo that accentuates a design will ever be out of style — it may just be used in slightly different ways, like the hidden halo. So if you want to put a halo on your marquise diamond, go for it.
