What makes marquise cut diamonds a uniquely romantic choice for engagement rings?

The marquise cut diamond carries a fascinating royal history and romantic symbolism, originating when King Louis XV commissioned a diamond shaped like his mistress's lips. This elongated, boat-shaped cut combines timeless elegance with modern appeal, creating an illusion of longer, more slender fingers. BAUNAT recommends a minimum of 1.50 carats to showcase the cut's full beauty, either as a striking solitaire or enhanced by a sparkling halo setting.
