Jewellery with Marquise Gemstones & Diamonds

Marquise-shaped gemstones are elongated, boat-shaped stones with pointed ends. They are also known as navette cut gemstones, which translates to "little ship" in French. Gemstones cut in this shape are linked to royalty because they were named after a marquis's lip shape and because marquise-shaped gemstones often appear in royal jewellery. That said, the marquise shape is still one of the least expensive shapes of gemstones.
