Characteristics of Marquise Cut

- Shape: a boat shape with pointed corners at the ends and a curved center (similar to a rugby ball or a smiling lip), with a length-to-width ratio usually ranging from 1.75:1 to 2.25:1.

- Advantage:

  - Bigger effect: the slender silhouette is visually bigger than a round cut, which is suitable for consumers who are looking for a “carat sense”.

  - Hand shaping: vertical lines lengthen the fingers, suitable for short, thick or wide hands.

  - Unique design: vintage elegance, commonly used in engagement rings or artistic jewelry.

Advantages of Moissanite

- Physical Properties: Moissanite (Silicon Carbide) hardness of 9.25 (10 for diamond), high refractive index (2.65-2.69, higher than diamond), stronger fire color, and obvious scintillation effect after cutting.

- Cost-effective: the price is about 1/10 of the same size diamond, suitable for people with limited budget but pursuing large carat effect.

- Environmental protection and ethics: laboratory synthesized, no mining conflict issues. 1. Characteristics of Marquise Cut
