There's something unmistakably striking about a marquise cut ring. That elongated, boat-shaped silhouette, sweeping to two fine points at each end, has turned heads since it was first commissioned by King Louis XV of France in the 18th century. It was designed to capture attention, and it still does.
At Diamondrensu UK, our marquise cut moissanite engagement rings bring that same bold elegance into the modern era. Each ring is handcrafted to order, set with premium D/E colour moissanite that rivals the best diamonds in brilliance and fire, at a fraction of the cost. Whether you're drawn to a clean, classic solitaire or a bespoke vintage design dripping in fine detail, you'll find it here. And if you don't? We'll make it for you.
Why Choose a Marquise Cut Engagement Ring?
Few cuts are as quietly confident as the marquise. Its elongated shape runs lengthways along the finger, creating a visual effect that makes your stone look larger than it actually is and makes fingers appear longer and more slender in the process. That's not a trick. It's geometry working in your favour.
The pointed ends are distinctive without being fussy, and the cut's 58 facets are arranged to maximise light return, giving your ring a brilliance that draws the eye from across the room. It works equally well as a bold centrepiece in a solitaire setting or as the foundation for a layered halo design. Vintage lovers appreciate its history. Minimalists love its clean lines. Those who simply want something different from the round brilliant find it immediately irresistible.
It's a cut with range, and that's rare.
Features of Our Marquise Moissanite Collection
Stone Quality
Every stone in our collection is premium moissanite graded D/E in colour and FL/VVS in clarity, that means completely eye-clean, with exceptional brilliance. Moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65, higher than diamond, which means it scatters light more intensely and produces that distinctive rainbow fire. We source only the best.
Setting Styles
Our marquise rings are available in a full range of settings designed to complement the cut's natural drama:
- Solitaire - lets the stone speak entirely for itself
- Halo - a frame of smaller moissanites amplifies the centre stone's presence
- Hidden Halo - a subtle halo sits beneath the marquise, visible only from certain angles
- Vintage / Milgrain - intricate detailing evokes Edwardian and Art Deco periods
- Three Stone - two flanking stones frame the marquise with symbolic depth
- East West - the stone sits horizontally across the finger for a modern, architectural look
- Cathedral - raised shoulders give the ring a dramatic silhouette
- Pave Band - smaller stones line the band for continuous sparkle
Metal Options
All Diamondrensu UK rings are available in:
- 14K Yellow Gold - warm, classic, and beautifully paired with moissanite's fire
- 14K White Gold - bright and cool, lets the stone's colour read as near-colourless
- 14K Rose Gold - romantic warmth that contrasts beautifully with a D-colour stone
- 18K Gold (Yellow, White, or Rose) - denser gold content for a richer, more substantial feel
- Platinum - the most durable and naturally white precious metal; ideal for everyday wear
Popular Styles in This Collection
Solitaire Marquise Ring - the purest expression of the cut. Nothing competes with the stone. Simple, timeless, and endlessly wearable. Our four-claw and six-claw solitaire settings hold the marquise securely while keeping maximum light exposure.
Marquise Halo Ring - a halo of pavé-set moissanites encircles the centre stone, increasing its visual diameter significantly. A popular choice for those who want serious impact without a larger centre stone.
Hidden Halo Marquise Ring - for those who prefer understated sophistication. The halo sits discreetly beneath the stone, adding brilliance that's revealed as the ring catches the light.
Vintage Marquise Ring - milgrain edges, floral details, and hand-engraved band work bring a sense of history to the ring. Our vintage designs draw on Edwardian and Art Nouveau influences.
Three Stone Marquise Ring - the past, present, and future rendered in gemstone. Flanking stones are typically round brilliant or pear-shaped, creating a balanced, meaningful design.
East West Marquise Ring - worn horizontally rather than vertically, this orientation feels contemporary and editorial. An increasingly popular choice among modern brides.
Custom Marquise Moissanite Rings - if you have something specific in mind, we'll build it from scratch. See our custom design section below.
Custom Marquise Moissanite Engagement Rings
At Diamondrensu UK, custom design isn't a premium add-on - it's part of how we work. Every ring we create is made to order, which means there's very little we can't adjust, modify, or build from the ground up.
Here's how the process works:
- Consultation - share your ideas, inspiration images, and must-haves with our design team. We'll listen.
- CAD Design - our jewellers produce a computer-aided design rendering so you can see the ring before a single piece of metal is cut.
- Stone Selection - choose your centre stone size (from 0.5ct to 3ct+), colour grade, and clarity.
- Metal Selection - pick your metal type, purity, and finish (high polish, brushed, or matte).
- Personal Engraving - add a date, initials, or short phrase to the inner band.
- Production & Delivery - your ring is handcrafted and delivered fully insured, worldwide.

Buying Guide - How to Choose Your Marquise Ring
Ring Size
If you're unsure of your size, most UK jewellers offer free ring sizing gauges by post. Finger size can change with temperature, so measure at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest. Our team can advise on sizing for different band widths.
Stone Size
The marquise cut's elongated shape makes stones appear larger than equivalent round brilliants of the same carat weight. As a general guide:
- 1.0ct marquise ≈ visual equivalent of a 1.25-1.4ct round
- 1.5ct marquise ≈ visual equivalent of a 1.8-2ct round
- 2.0ct marquise ≈ visual equivalent of a 2.5ct+ round
Setting Style
For everyday wear, a protective setting, such as a bezel or a low-profile claw, is worth considering. Marquise points are the most delicate part of the stone, and a good setting guards them without hiding the cut's character.
Metal Type
If your partner wears silver-toned jewellery, white gold or platinum is the natural fit. Yellow gold adds warmth and suits warmer skin tones beautifully. Rose gold is currently one of the most requested options and pairs exquisitely with D-colour moissanite.
Budget
One of the major advantages of moissanite is that a stunning 2ct marquise solitaire in 14K white gold is achievable at a fraction of what a diamond equivalent would cost. We're happy to advise on which stone size and setting combination offers the best visual impact at your budget.
