Marquis engagement rings are oval-shaped diamonds that have both ends pointed. Marquis diamonds have 56 facets and are twice as long as their width. The 2 to 1 ratio, length to width is considered ideal and something to think about when purchasing a marquis, as it will affect the brilliance of the diamond. A good cut is important. The cut is also important because it helps prevent the dreaded “bow tie” effect, whereby the center of the diamond is darker and has reduced brilliance. While the Marquis diamond is by no means my favorite shape, it does have several interesting properties:

1) It has a great story behind it: it was said that the shape of the stone was designed for Louis XIV of France, who wanted a diamond cut from the smile of the Marquise de Pompadour.

2) The marquis diamond is considered one of the most flattering on the hand, as it makes the finger appear thinner.

3) The stone may appear larger than it actually is. Not only does the marquis diamond have a large surface area, but the elongated lines can make the carat size appear larger than the money invested.

Yes, I am a pear hater. Maybe some of my friends who don’t like pear have influenced me either. I remember a time when an acquaintance of mine got engaged. My friend, who was closest to this person, sent me a photo of her pear diamond with a derogatory description about the shape of the ring. Malice aside, everyone has different views on what looks good, so don’t let my taste sway you unduly.

The pear shaped diamond is considered a round brilliant diamond at one end and a marquise shape at the other. It is sometimes known as a teardrop because of its rounded side and pointed edge. A length-to-width ratio between 1.45 and 1.75 is typically considered more desirable for pear. Just so you know, the pear-shaped diamond is less brilliant than the round brilliant and loses more brilliance if it is poorly proportioned. One thing to avoid in particular when buying a pear shape is the dreaded bow tie effect – a dark area in the middle of the diamond that looks like a black bow tie. It’s hard to completely avoid the bow tie effect with the pear. One good thing about pear is that it tends to make the fingers appear thinner.

I hope I am not offending anyone by saying that I think heart shaped engagement rings are ugly. I used to wear heart rings in high school, which is why I connect heart-shaped rings to a typically horrible period in most people’s lives. Also, the symbolism of a heart-shaped engagement ring lacks creativity. We already know that you are in love, if you are wearing an engagement ring. At this point, his wife not only has his heart, but also his savings account, freedom, and body, mind, and soul. You are whipped. It is not necessary for the world to know this with a big cheesy heart. Don’t get me wrong … there are many admirers of heart-shaped diamonds. Some would say that the heart shape is the most romantic of all diamonds. In fact, Joan Collins received a heart-shaped engagement ring from her husband.

Hearts can be wide or long. They are more similar to the pear-shaped diamond, but have an indentation at the top. When looking to buy a heart, make sure the top arches have a symmetrical appearance. Asymmetrical hearts will look more like pears. When looking at other women’s ring fingers, you won’t see too many hearts. Hearts are less commonly found in an engagement ring setting and are more commonly seen in earrings or pendants. I’ll say something nice about heart shapes – they cost 20-25% less than round diamonds.
