Well, we are on to week two of the series "Spotlight on Diamonds" and today we will talk a little bit about Marquise shape diamonds. Marquise are an elegant shape to consider. With their pointed ends they have a very dramatic look. They can be thinner or wider, take your pick.

Marquise can be set vertical, which tends to be the traditional choice, or for something edgy and different, try a horizontal setting. Either way, a marquise may look larger than other shapes with the same carat weight which makes them a good choice if you prefer a bold look. It is often said that the football shape tends to elongate the fingers. Whatever the reason, Marquise diamonds are mesmerizing. Try one on today and stand out from all the rest.
