Frequently Asked Questions
Are marquise diamond engagement rings from Aurous available for customisation?
Yes — Aurous offers full customisation on marquise diamond engagement rings. Choose your carat size, clarity grade, metal type, setting style, and band design. Every piece is made to order ensuring your marquise ring is as individual as the moment it is meant to celebrate.
What is a marquise diamond engagement ring and what makes it unique?
A marquise diamond is an elongated cut with pointed ends — shaped somewhat like a boat or an eye. It was originally commissioned by King Louis XV of France to mimic the shape of his mistress's smile.
Today a marquise diamond engagement ring is chosen for its dramatic elegance, finger-lengthening effect, and the fact that it looks larger than other cuts of the same carat weight.
Is a marquise diamond a good choice for someone who works with their hands daily?
It requires some consideration. The pointed ends sit higher than a bezel set stone and can catch on fabrics or surfaces during manual work. Aurous recommends a lower profile setting with well-protected V-tips for active
wearers and suggests removing the ring during heavy physical tasks as standard practice regardless of cut. A half bezel option that protects the tips while keeping the sides open is also worth considering for someone with
a very active lifestyle.
How do I clean a marquise diamond ring at home without damaging the pointed tips?
Warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and a soft bristle brush is all you need — work gently around the tips and prongs rather than scrubbing directly on them. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners at home as the vibration can loosen prongs over time particularly the V-tips that protect the marquise points. Aurous recommends bringing the ring in for a professional clean and prong check once a year to keep both the diamond and the
setting in perfect condition.
My partner has wider fingers — will a marquise diamond still look good on her hand?
A marquise is actually one of the most flattering cuts for wider fingers precisely because of its elongated shape. The pointed ends draw the eye along the length of the finger creating a slimming effect no other cut does
quite as naturally. Aurous recommends a slightly larger stone for wider fingers so the diamond has presence proportional to the hand.
