FAQs

The Dutch marquise is a vintage variation of the traditional marquise shape with softer, more rounded points and a wider body. At 2 carats, it creates an elongated, boat-like silhouette that appears even larger than its carat weight suggests. The rounded tips make it more durable than a traditional marquise while retaining the finger-lengthening effect.
The Dutch marquise has gently rounded points instead of sharp tips, a slightly wider midsection, and a vintage facet pattern that produces broader flashes of light. At 2 carats, these differences create a softer, more romantic version of the elongated marquise shape. The rounded tips also eliminate the chipping risk that traditional marquise points carry.
Bezel settings complement the Dutch marquise's rounded contours beautifully, creating a smooth, vintage-inspired frame. V-prong settings are unnecessary since the tips aren't sharp, so simple prong settings work well. At 2 carats, the Dutch marquise's elongated shape makes a dramatic statement in east-west orientations as well as traditional north-south.
A 2 carat dutch marquise natural diamond looks best in east-west settings, vintage-inspired prong designs, and ornate solitaire mounts. At 2 carats, the stone has good presence, so both minimalist and detailed settings work well. The softer points are less fragile than standard marquise cuts but still benefit from v-prongs.
