With its dramatic shape and vintage-inspired flair, the marquise solitaire lab diamond engagement ring is a bold celebration of individual style. In Melbourne—where fashion, architecture, and fine design converge—this unique cut is gaining popularity for its elongating elegance and regal silhouette.
The marquise cut, also known as the navette cut, is distinguished by its elongated body and pointed ends, designed to maximise surface area and create the illusion of a larger stone. In a solitaire setting, the marquise truly shines—free of distractions, its shape takes centre stage, radiating brilliance and refinement.
What makes the marquise solitaire so captivating is its blend of history and contemporary appeal. Originally commissioned by King Louis XV, the marquise cut has evolved from royal courts to modern runways. In Melbourne, it suits those drawn to bold minimalism and unconventional silhouettes—think statement pieces with purpose.
At Diamond Lab, we exclusively use lab-grown diamonds, offering you the same fire, brilliance, and durability as mined diamonds, but without the ethical and environmental cost. Every marquise cut is GIA or IGI certified and chosen for its symmetry, clarity, and length-to-width ratio—ensuring your solitaire makes the exact statement you intend.
Each ring is crafted in Australia, designed to your precise specifications. You can choose from 14k or 18k white, yellow, or rose gold, or platinum. We tailor every detail of your solitaire ring—band width, setting height, prong style (including V-tip claws for added protection), and finish (high polish, brushed, or textured). Our CAD design process gives you full control and preview before we begin crafting.
The marquise solitaire is especially flattering on the hand. Its elongated shape creates the illusion of longer fingers and delivers exceptional finger coverage with an elegant, streamlined profile. Set north-south (vertically), the marquise draws the eye along its pointed ends; alternatively, it can be set east-west for a modern, avant-garde effect.
In a solitaire design, the marquise is elevated—literally and figuratively. With no side stones or embellishments, all eyes focus on the centre diamond. It’s a perfect choice for those who want a clean, bold look that remains timeless through changing trends.
In a city like Melbourne—where bespoke design and refined minimalism are prized—the marquise solitaire is a symbol of confidence and sophistication. Whether paired with a thin micro-pavé wedding band or a sculptural contour ring, it adapts beautifully to a wide range of personal styles.
Diamond Lab’s design team will guide you through every step, from stone selection to CAD approval, ensuring a seamless, rewarding experience. And because our rings are made to order, each piece is as unique as the love story behind it.
