Wholesale Marquise Cut Diamonds
The marquise cut features a dramatically elongated boat shape with pointed ends, maximizing carat weight to appear much larger than other cuts of equal mass. Its brilliant facet pattern delivers striking sparkle while offering a distinctively regal aesthetic.
About the Marquise Cut
The marquise — also called the navette — is an elongated brilliant cut with pointed ends, resembling the hull of a boat. Of all diamond shapes it carries the largest crown surface area per carat, so a marquise looks bigger than its weight suggests, making it a value-driven choice for wholesale buyers. The classic length-to-width ratio runs from 1.85 to 2.10. As with all elongated shapes, careful proportioning is required to control the bow-tie effect and protect the delicate points. Anand Exports cuts marquise diamonds with symmetrical points and certified proportions.
