Dutch Marquise Lab-Grown Diamonds
The Dutch Marquise Cut Diamond features an elongated, hexagonal silhouette with pointed ends and straight, angled sides, a distinctive, modern twist on a timeless shape.
What is a Dutch Marquise diamond?
A Dutch Marquise is an elongated, hexagonal cut in the marquise family. It has the long, slender silhouette and the pointed ends of a classic marquise, but instead of smoothly curved sides it is cut with clean, straight angles, giving it a six-sided, geometric outline. The result is a long, graceful shape with a vintage sensibility that still reads bright and modern, with sparkle spread across a generous surface area.
Dutch Marquise vs. the classic marquise
A classic marquise has two smoothly curved sides that sweep to a sharp point at each end (the navette, or boat, shape). The Dutch Marquise keeps that elongated proportion and those pointed ends, but trades the curved sides for straight, angled ones, so the outline reads as an elongated hexagon rather than a smooth oval. It is a more geometric, architectural take on the marquise. If you love the slimming, finger-lengthening line of a marquise but want something more distinctive and modern, the Dutch Marquise is the answer.
What to look for in a Dutch Marquise
- Length-to-width ratio: most look best between about 1.85 and 2.10; lower reads broader, higher reads slimmer. Choose by taste.
- Point symmetry: the two ends should align so the stone doesn't look crooked once set.
- Outline symmetry: because the sides are angled, check that the matching angles are even on both sides so the hexagon reads clean.
- Bow-tie: like all elongated cuts, a faint dark band can appear across the centre; look for one that's minimal.

Dutch Marquise engagement rings
The elongated shape flatters the finger and looks larger per carat than rounder cuts, which makes the Dutch Marquise a striking centre stone. It pairs beautifully with a slim solitaire band, a delicate halo, or an east-west setting. Because the ends are pointed, a V-prong or a protective tip keeps those points safe in everyday wear.

How is a Dutch Marquise different from a regular marquise?
A classic marquise has smoothly curved sides; the Dutch Marquise keeps the pointed ends but cuts the sides with straight angles, so the outline reads as an elongated hexagon. Same long, slimming line, a more geometric look.

Yes. Every Stienhardt Dutch Marquise is independently certified by IGI or GIA and graded for the full 4Cs.
What length-to-width ratio is best for a Dutch Marquise?
Most look best between roughly 1.85 and 2.10. A lower ratio looks broader, a higher ratio looks slimmer — it comes down to personal taste.
Do Dutch Marquise diamonds look bigger than other shapes?
Yes — the elongated shape spreads weight across a larger surface, so it tends to look larger per carat than round or square cuts and elongates the finger.
What setting suits a Dutch Marquise?
Slim solitaire bands, delicate halos, and east-west settings all flatter the elongated shape. Because the ends are pointed, a V-prong or protective tip helps guard them.

Absolutely. Choose your loose stone, then pick a setting and we'll mount it for you.
Are Dutch Marquise diamonds more expensive?
