The marquise shape represents royalty not only because it was named after a marquis's lip shape but also because marquise-shaped gemstones often appear in royal jewelry. With that being said, the marquise shape is still one of the least expensive shapes. They are a fantastic value when you consider that marquise cuts have a larger appearance than other cuts of similar weight. Marquise gemstone rings are perfect for all vintage souls that swear on the alternative stones and cuts.
