Marquise Cut Diamond Pendants and Necklaces

The marquise cut diamond is often found sparkling away on engagement rings but it is just as eye-catching on pendant diamond jewelry.

A pendant is a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain worn around the neck. The word pendant originated the Latin pendere and the Old French word pendr, which means to ‘hang down.

The Correct Size For Your Marquise Cut Diamond Pendant

One of the advantages of the marquise cut diamond is that it looks a bit bigger than it really is. Keep this in mind when you shop for your marquise diamond pendant. Don’t buy a large solitaire diamond pendant with a high carat value and then compromise on the grade of the cut and clarity. The imperfections of a larger diamond are more visible, and even more so if it is worn in a diamond necklace. The larger-looking marquise cut diamond allows you to afford a higher quality diamond pendant with a smaller carat value.
