The Best Marquise Engagement Rings

Do you want an engagement ring that makes a statement? Elizabeth Taylor once
famously said, “Big girls need big diamonds.” While she might have been thinking of
the iconic Taylor-Burton diamond, this quote always makes us think of marquise
engagement rings.

This style is unique as it feels timeless with a silhouette that reimagines a traditional
look with a whimsical feel. Marquise diamonds and stones are elongated, giving them
an otherworldly feel. Their shape makes them look and feel bigger than they are. A
marquise engagement ring is the perfect option as it’s elegant with an alternative
silhouette that you can make uniquely your own.

In this post, we’re spotlighting this classic diamond shape and 5 of the best marquise
engagement rings for couples in 2025.

What are Marquise Engagement Rings?

You can spot a marquise engagement ring by its elongated shape. It’s often called a
“little boat” or “lip” due to this silhouette. While this style is considered timeless, it’s
become a trend for 2025 brides after Selena Gomez got engaged with a marquise cut
engagement ring. This alternative engagement ring style is perfect if you want to
create a major visual impact on a smaller budget.

What makes the marquise cut unique is that its elongated silhouette creates the
perception of a larger stone than its actual carat weight. If you’re looking for value
from a lab-grown diamond, consider choosing a marquise cut for your bespoke ring.
Symmetry is important when choosing your design as you want a length-to-width
ratio that is visually pleasing.
