gemcat The Florentine Diamond Registered: 04/17/05 Posts: 5107 Loc: San Antonio, TX	Originally Posted By: diamondangel If this one was any fatter it would look like a football. Doing it just a quarter-mm larger than the perfect proportion gave it enough width to not have that skinny marquise look that I don't like. Plus, it was the largest marquise head on Stuller that I could find! When choosing a fancy shape like the marquise or pear, it's wise to find a head first, and then order the stone so you don't have to do a custom head. Unfortunately, when I got my marquise, I didn't have the option of buying the head first. My bench jeweler went above and beyond in setting my stone for me. Mine isn't a "perfect" 2:1 marquise either and that is one thing I really love about it. Attachments _________________________ "Never try to outstubborn a cat." L.

Anozira The Florentine Diamond Registered: 07/13/06 Posts: 5699	Gemcat: is that a diamond? It's got such beautiful fire! I love both your rings. I think marquise & pears are so under-rated, wish we could see more of them DA: Your ring is divine and I can't even see a bowtie. Is it a specialty/barion cut marquise? It's such a shame the RLY rough is gone for good _________________________ Anozira's DiamondBistro listings

DA, I don't want to hijack your thread. Ladies, here is a link to the thread I started after I bought my marquise. http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/topics/582144/Marquise_Sparkly#Post582144 _________________________ "Never try to outstubborn a cat."

e.taylor The Black Orlov Registered: 03/15/09 Posts: 4190	Thanks Gemcat! DA, do you find it easy to wear? I seem to recall that you have a lovely round in a roseco cathedral...do you notice a difference in wearability? I'm only asking because I seem to catch my pear now and again and wonder if it's me that's a klutz or if that's just the reality of wearing a stone with a point. I still LOVE the fancy shapes!

diamondangel BTD Crown Jewel Registered: 04/08/02 Posts: 18664 Loc: Northwestern NJ	I wear my Vatche Grace on a daily basis, but when I want a little more bling I wear the marquise. I don't really find that it gets knocked around, but if I wear a loose knit sweater it does get caught if I'm not careful. That's just the nature of pointy stones, which is why I advise using V-tip settings any time you've got a point. It definitely does not discourage me from wearing it! _________________________ Email [email protected] for Fine custom jewelry, diamonds, gems, WinkCZs, Ashas & Amora!
