[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2/3\"][vc_column_text]Legend says that the Marquise cut first appeared in Paris circa 1745 and its fascinating history can be traced back to the height of the French monarchy. King Louis XV commissioned his court jeweller to create a diamond that resembled the smile of his beautiful mistress, the Marchioness Madame de Pompadour. A sleek and seductive design, the perfect Marquise cut gemstone should always be cut in a 2:1 aspect ratio, meaning it must be twice as long as it is wide to have the proper aesthetic effect. Available in a range of carat weights. See menu above. Stones shown on the model’s hand are for reference only. Actual carat weight availability may vary.
