When celebrities began showcasing marquise cut engagement rings, it ignited fresh interest in this dramatic diamond shape. Not only do fans appreciate their luxurious appearance, but also how the elongated diamond creates an impressive presence on the finger. Fashion publications have praised their beauty and predicted that marquise diamonds would become the standout cut for 2025.
Although this renewed excitement has brought marquise diamonds into the spotlight, they have long been symbols of drama and elegance in the jewelry world. At Almaz Jewelry, we're proud to offer these stunning rings at price points that most couples can comfortably manage, combining timeless beauty with authentic Turkish craftsmanship.
If you're considering a marquise ring for your proposal, we offer options ranging from classic solitaires to luxurious designs with pavé accents and intricate metalwork. In this guide, we'll reveal the best marquise diamond engagement rings for every budget, proving you can achieve striking glamour without exceeding your financial comfort zone.
Why Choose a Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring?
The marquise cut first appeared in 18th-century France, created at the request of King Louis XV. He wanted a diamond shaped like the lips of his mistress, Madame de Pompadour, resulting in a design that blended elegance with distinction. Today, it's experiencing an exciting resurgence, with searches for marquise engagement rings reaching all-time highs.
Because marquise diamonds are cut with an elongated silhouette and greater surface area, they appear significantly larger on the hand than round diamonds of the same carat weight, while costing less. For many couples, this balance of dramatic presence and exceptional value makes the marquise one of the smartest choices in engagement rings.
Almaz Insight: "The marquise cut perfectly complements our Turkish design philosophy—it's dramatic yet refined, making a statement while maintaining elegance. We often enhance these stones with traditional Turkish metalwork techniques for a truly unique piece."

How to Get the Best Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring for Your Budget
Choosing a marquise diamond engagement ring doesn't have to be complicated. These tips will show you where to invest and where you can save without sacrificing beauty or quality.
Consider Near-Colorless Stones
Marquise diamonds are cut shallower than many other shapes, which means color can show more easily in the tapered ends. Selecting a near-colorless grade, such as G or H, ensures the diamond appears bright and clear across the entire stone while offering better value.
Choose VS2 or SI1 Clarity
You don't need flawless clarity for a diamond that looks perfect to the naked eye. VS2 and SI1 grades are typically "eye-clean," meaning inclusions are invisible without magnification. This allows you to maximize sparkle while avoiding unnecessary expense.
Select Strategic Carat Sizes
Carat weight can push prices up dramatically at popular thresholds like 1.0 or 2.0 carats. Choosing a slightly less common size, such as 1.8 or 2.3 carats, can offer better value without a noticeable difference in appearance.
Explore Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds make it possible to buy a larger, higher-quality stone without exceeding your budget. They're chemically identical to mined diamonds but cost significantly less, making them an ideal choice for striking coverage at a competitive price.
