Why are marquise engagement rings called marquise?

The cut is named after the Marquise de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV of France. He commissioned the cut in the 18th century to resemble the shape of her lips.

Do marquise diamonds chip easily?

The pointed ends are the most vulnerable feature. Aydins marquise settings use V-prongs at both points to protect them. With proper setting and normal wear, chipping is rare.

What carat weight looks best in a marquise?

Marquise diamonds face up larger than other cuts, so even 1 carat has significant presence. A 1 carat marquise looks roughly the size of a 1.5 carat round on the finger.
