Marquise Diamond Earrings: The Vintage-Meets-Modern Look You Can Buy Today
The Return of the Marquise Cut for the Holiday Season
Holiday style is defined by elegance, intention, and pieces that shine in festive lighting. Few designs embody this spirit better than marquise diamond earrings, a silhouette that merges vintage glamour with sleek modern sophistication. Their elongated shape, pointed tips, and radiant sparkle make them an unforgettable choice for winter celebrations, New Year events, and meaningful holiday gifting.
The marquise cut carries a rich history—it was originally commissioned in the 18th century by King Louis XV and inspired by the shape of his muse’s smile. Today, the cut’s theatrical presence and timeless romance translate beautifully into earrings that feel both classic and contemporary.
Balanced Proportions: By Bonnie’s Approach to Marquise Craftsmanship
Crafting marquise earrings requires an expert eye because the shape relies heavily on proportion and symmetry. Each stone must have aligned points, even curvature, and consistent facet structure to ensure balanced brilliance. At By Bonnie, we begin by selecting stones with exceptional light performance and shape appeal, choosing pairs that match not just in carat size but in personality and visual presence.
The setting is engineered to protect the delicate tips of the marquise diamond while maintaining as much light flow as possible. Metal is kept minimal to preserve the airy elegance of the silhouette, and prongs are shaped to secure the stone without interrupting its elongated beauty. The result is a pair of earrings that sit comfortably, shine brilliantly, and retain their structural integrity over years of wear.
