Dutch Marquise Ring: A Rare Antique Beauty
If you love the shape of a marquise but want the soft, romantic glow of an antique stone, meet the Dutch Marquise.
What is a Dutch Marquise?
It is essentially a Marquise Rose Cut.
- Flat Bottom: Like all rose cuts, it has a flat base (no pavilion).
- Domed Top: The top is covered in triangular facets that rise to a peak.
- The Look: It doesn't sparkle like a modern brilliant. It has a watery, glassy shimmer. It looks larger than its carat weight because it is flat.
Why It's Trending
Modern brides are looking for low-profile rings that don't snag on sweaters. Because the Dutch Marquise is flat, it sits very close to the finger. It is practical and uniquely beautiful.
Where to Find One
True antique Dutch Marquise diamonds are rare. However, many custom jewelers are now cutting new diamonds in this old style (often called "Moval Rose Cuts" or "Marquise Rose Cuts") to meet demand.
