Marquise Cut Black Diamond Rings
The marquise cut is an elongated type of cut that has sharp edges. It is sometimes referred to as either the "eye" or "boat" cut. Due to the long appearance of the diamond, it gives the illusion of a bigger diamond compared to the others. The black diamond, which comes with the dark color, gives it a unique look.
Solitaire or halo?
- Solitaire marquise – a clean, single-stone setting that lets the elongated shape and deep black color speak for themselves.
- Halo marquise – a ring of smaller diamonds surrounds the center stone, adding extra sparkle and making the black diamond look even larger.
