Marquise jeweler is an elliptical shape with a sharp end. Usually in a brilliant cut, the term marquise may be used for a cabochon with a similar shape. But how did this unusual shape become fashionable, and where did the curious Marquis get her name?
The history of the Marquis lathe dates back to the eighteenth century. According to legend, King Louis XV of France (1710-1774) ordered his court jewelers to make diamonds to match the smile of his original mistress, Jean-Antoine Poisson, Marquis de Pompadour. The story may be apocalyptic, but the Marquis’s name suggests that this subtle cut was associated with the nobility, as the term Marquis (Marquis’s feminine form) refers to hereditary ranks halfway between the Duke and the Earl. You also sometimes hear the term naut (French, “small ship”) to refer to this form.
The marquise cut is essentially an elongated oval with a sharp end. Marquises are usually trimmed with length and width ratios of 1.75 – 2.25 to 1, ideally 2 to 1. Although it first appeared as a cut for diamonds, it has also become popular for colored gemstones. For example, marjoram will be found in sapphires and sapphires, as well as in other colored stones such as tanzanite, spinel, garnet tsavarite, topaz and alexandrite.
Cutting marquises has many charms, but some of them also bring challenges. This is a long and delicate shape that makes the most use of the carat weight of a piece of jewelry. The diamond marquise, which weighs just 0.36 cents, can easily be 7mm long. The marquise is a very attractive shape that shows a woman’s finger slim. این یک برش کاملاً زنانه است که به ندرت در جواهرات مردانه دیده می شود.
با این حال، انتهای تیز را می توان به راحتی خرد کرد و باید توسط جواهرات محافظت شود، به خصوص در حلقه ها. معمولا تنظیمات حلقه دارای پنجه های V شکل هستند که از نقاط تیز محافظت می کنند. یکی دیگر از مسائل مربوط به برش های مارکیز این است که شکل بلند باریک می تواند به راحتی یک پنجره یا ناحیه ای با رنگ کاهش یافته ایجاد کند. این معمولاً خود را به عنوان یک جلوه پاپیون در وسط نگین نشان می دهد. معمولاً هنگام برش جواهر، می توان با روکش های اضافی تاج حل کرد.
