Niederländischer Marquise Schliff Labor Diamant

This Dutch marquise cut lab grown loose diamond is sold without a setting, so the mount is your choice. The stone has a long outline with six sides and a point at each end.

Brilliant Facets in a Dutch Marquise Diamond

The facets are cut in a brilliant style, so light breaks into many small flashes across the surface. The effect runs along the full length of the stone, from one point to the other. This is a different look from a step cut, where long, flat facets give broad bands of light.

Dutch Marquise Diamond for Rings, Pendants and Earrings

A loose lab grown diamond can be the center of a ring, the feature of a pendant, or one of a matched pair for earrings. As a center stone, the long shape can run along the finger, and side stones can be added if you want more sparkle on the sides. It suits anyone looking for a unique shape diamond in place of a standard round or oval.

Setting and Metal for a Dutch Marquise Diamond

The two points are the most exposed parts of the stone, so a jeweler will usually cover them with prongs or a bezel. For a fancy shape loose diamond like this, yellow gold adds warmth around a white stone, and white gold or platinum keeps the look cool.

Dutch Marquise Diamond vs. Classic Marquise Diamond

A classic marquise has a smooth, curved edge all the way around. The Dutch marquise has straight sides and angled corners, which gives it a sharper, more geometric outline. If you like the length of a marquise diamond but want something less common, this hexagon cut diamond is a direct alternative.
