A marquise shape is an elongated oval with pointed ends at both sides. The cut originated in France around 1745 and maximizes surface area relative to carat weight, making gemstones appear larger.
The vertical orientation of marquise earrings creates a lengthening effect, which works well for round and square face shapes. Those with longer faces may prefer horizontal settings or smaller stones.
