Marquise-Cut Jewellery: A Vintage Style with Modern Appeal

Vintage jewellery lovers spent their childhoods being shooed away from Nan’s jewellery box, obsessing over black-and-white movies, and couldn’t pass an antiques store without peeking through the window. Embrace your love of timeless elegance with a piece of marquise-cut jewellery, and unify the vintage aesthetic with a contemporary, timeless appeal. 

Introduction to Marquise-Cut Jewellery: A Vintage Style with Modern Appeal

Finding a standout cut within the jewellery world is becoming increasingly complex as artisans continue to develop their techniques and design principles. Marquise-cut jewellery, compared to other styles, stands out as a unique piece of jewellery, all thanks to its rich historical background. After King Louis XV commissioned a piece of jewellery to replicate the smile of his mistress, the popularity of these stone cuts took on a life of its own as the masses scrambled to replicate these stunning pieces.

Why Marquise-Cut Jewellery is Trending in 2025

Whether you’re a lover of vintage-inspired gemstone rings or you’re a contemporary accessory wearer through and through, a piece of timeless marquise-cut jewellery is the piece we know you’ll reach for. Modern settings of these bold stones on slimmer bands and east-west settings (where the stone is oriented sideways) are becoming an increasingly popular trend among engagement rings this year, bringing a timeless feel in a trend-setting way. 

Influences from Fashion and Culture

If we see an accessory on the finger of one of our favourite artists, chances are we’ll be clamouring for it, and the engagement ring that Miss Selena Gomez is no exception to this. With marquis-cut engagement rings being worn and loved by celebrities worldwide, these unique shapes have made their way into the hands of the most fashion-forward jewellery lovers. These out-there pieces have inspired our artisans, and creating statement necklaces as unique as they are has become second nature to us. 

What Shoppers Are Looking for Now

Whether on the hunt for a vintage-inspired pair of sapphire marquis-cut earrings or the perfect marquis-cut necklace, our market has keen eyes when it comes to affordable style with modern appeal. As the cost of living goes up (hello, never turning on the heater), we’re all focused on finding jewellery that fits our style, as well as our budget. With our range of affordable marquis-cut jewellery, you can have your luxurious cake and eat it too. 

How to Choose the Right Marquise-Cut Jewellery 

Choosing the right piece of jewellery to add to your collection is key, whether you’re looking for a bold statement piece or a delicate chain necklace. We’ve rounded up our favourite tips so that your marquis-cut jewellery will be the addition you’ll never want to take off. 

Style Preferences and Daily Use

Style Preferences

  • Choose a vintage-inspired setting if you love for your jewellery to have an antique vibe 

  • A horizontal (east-west) setting gives a trendy, contemporary twist

  • Select a bezel setting if you prefer clean lines and a secure, understated style

Daily Use

  • Look for a low-profile setting if you use your hands a lot—safer and less likely to snag

  • Stack with our range of waterproof jewellery if you’re looking for pieces you never have to take off

  • Make sure the ring fits snugly, as marquise stones can feel top-heavy and may spin if too loose

Tips on Sizing, Length or Shape

Choosing the right piece of jewellery entails so much more than opting for the piece that you like visually. If you’re adding a marquis cut ring to your jewellery box, using our adjustable ring sizer is the best way to ensure that you’re getting the right fit. For necklaces, length choice is an indicator of your style, with pendants typically suiting around 40-45cm long chains. Our adjustable marquis-cut necklaces offer over 5cm of adjustability to ensure a perfect fit. 

How to Style Marquise-Cut Jewellery A Vintage With Other Pieces

The vintage aesthetic is effortlessly timeless in terms of styling options. Whether it’s a few small vintage touches amongst a modern outfit or a look fully inspired by the past, vintage marquis-cut jewellery for everyday wear creates some of the most beautiful looks in contemporary fashion. 

Minimalist vs Layered Looks

When you’re a lover of minimalist jewellery, leaning towards a bolder cut like a marquis can feel unnatural. Pairing a set of earrings like our Marquise Sapphire Huggie earrings with a delicate ring will add a beautiful, understated shine to your outfit, without it feeling overpowering. For those who like to stand out in the crowd, layering your marquis-cut rings with our stacking rings can create a statement hand that showcases your true style. 


Mixing with Gold, Silver or Stones

The Venn Diagram of warm-toned jewellery lovers and vintage obsessors is a full circle, and we’re officially part of it. Gold marquis-cut jewellery leans into the vintage vibe of these pieces, and the 18k gold vermeil we use ensures that your jewellery can be as much a part of your daily adventures as you are. For silver lovers, silver marquise-cut jewellery brings a stunning contemporary feel to your look, blending the old with the new. Adding a crystal ring to your marquis-cut ring is a gorgeous way to add colour, not to mention the metaphysical powers associated with them.
