If a round brilliant feels too predictable and a classic marquise looks almost right but not quite - a Dutch Marquise diamond might be exactly what you've been trying to describe.
Pointed ends, angular sides, an elongated hexagonal silhouette that reads as a geometric figure - this is the shape of a Dutch Marquise lab grown diamond. More structured than a traditional marquise, more distinctive than most shapes on the market, and genuinely hard to find elsewhere. At Avideri, this unique cut is available in both lab grown diamonds and moissanite, with handcrafted settings and personalization options across metal, size, and design.
What is a Dutch Marquise Diamond?
Pointed ends and straight angled sides - that's the defining characteristic of the Dutch Marquise cut. Together they create an elongated hexagon that sits somewhere between architectural and elegant shapes. You get the finger-lengthening quality of a marquise with a fuller, more structured presence.
Shape and Silhouette - The Elongated Hexagon
The Dutch Marquise lab grown diamond is sleek without being narrow. The geometric outline gives the ring real presence on the hand without overwhelming it.
The Rupee Cut - The Dutch Marquise's Alternate Name
You may sometimes come across this shape being called a Rupee cut, which refers to its resemblance to elongated diamond motifs found in traditional Indian rupee designs.
Dutch Marquise vs. Classic Marquise - The Key Difference
Classic marquise has smooth curved sides. Whereas the Dutch Marquise ring uses straighter angled sides instead, which is more architectural, distinctive, and genuinely its own shape rather than a variation of something else.

What to Look for in a Dutch Marquise Ring
The silhouette draws you in. So, look for these details further to determine whether the stone actually delivers.
Length to Width Ratio - How It Changes the Look
A higher ratio means a longer and slimmer stone on your Dutch Marquise cut engagement ring. A lower ratio creates a broader, fuller appearance. Neither is objectively better - it's about which proportion you're drawn to when you see it on your hand.
Symmetry - Points and Side Angles Must Align
A Dutch Marquise cut engagement ring depends heavily on clean symmetry. Both points should align naturally, and both sides should feel balanced. In a geometric shape this precise, small inconsistencies become noticeable.
Bow Tie Effect - What to Watch For
Some elongated stones show a darker shadow across the centre. A subtle bow tie can add character, but a heavy, distracting one is worth avoiding. Always examine the specific stone rather than relying on photos alone.

Moissanite Dutch Marquise Rings at Avideri
Want more fire and a different kind of brilliance? A Dutch Marquise engagement ring in moissanite takes the angular silhouette somewhere distinctly expressive.
Moissanite in the Dutch Marquise - More Fire per Carat
Moissanite's high refractive index creates strong light flashes that work particularly well with the Dutch Marquise's geometric lines. The angular sides catch and return light in a way that feels dramatic without being excessive.
Lab Grown Diamond vs. Moissanite Dutch Marquise - Which to Choose?
Go for lab grown diamonds if certification and diamond-specific properties matter to you. Choose moissanite if intense fire and greater price flexibility are the priority. Both produce a genuinely beautiful Dutch Marquise engagement ring.
Dutch Marquise Ring Settings at Avideri
The right setting can completely change the personality of your ring. Avideri offers several designs that let the Dutch Marquise shape take center stage.
Solitaire Dutch Marquise Ring
A solitaire keeps the focus on your center stone. It works beautifully when you want this one-of-a-kind silhouette to speak for itself.
Halo and Hidden Halo Settings
A halo adds sparkle around the center stone. Whereas a hidden halo keeps that sparkle underneath, creating a more subtle detail. Avideri offers Dutch Marquise designs with hidden halo settings, too.
East West Dutch Marquise Ring
An east-west setting places the Dutch Marquise horizontally across the finger rather than vertically. This changes the stone's proportions visually, creating a wider, more unexpected silhouette. The result feels modern and confident, making it a strong choice if you want something distinctive without relying on an overly elaborate setting.
Vintage and Milgrain Settings
Milgrain adds tiny beaded details around the metal. Pairing it with a Dutch Marquise diamond creates a beautiful vintage mood. Avideri offers such precisely handcrafted Dutch Marquise designs with milgrain detailing.
Metal Pairings for Dutch Marquise Engagement Rings
Your metal choice can make the same stone feel completely different. Think about the mood you want your ring to create.
Yellow Gold - Warmth and vintage character
There is something about yellow gold that brings out the warmth in a Dutch Marquise. Its natural vintage feel pairs beautifully with milgrain and antique-inspired settings, giving the ring a character that feels distinct and full of personality.
White Gold and Platinum - Crisp, clean contrast
White metals create a crisp backdrop for the stone. So, it keeps the lab grown Dutch Marquise diamond ring visually bright and prominent.
Rose Gold - Contemporary and romantic
Rose gold offers something different altogether. Its soft blush tone softens the sharp edges of the Dutch Marquise just enough, creating a gentler contrast while still preserving the shape's elegance.
Tip Protection - Setting the Points Correctly
The pointed ends deserve special attention when choosing your setting. They need to be practically protective and aesthetically appealing.
V Prong Settings for Dutch Marquise Tips
V prongs wrap the pointed ends securely without covering too much of the stone. As a result, it becomes a practical choice for daily wear and also has a clean appearance.
Bezel Setting - Full Protection, Clean Profile
Metal surrounds the stone completely, giving the points maximum protection and producing a sleek modern outline. It is available at Avideri for buyers who prefer this approach.
Matching Wedding Bands for Dutch Marquise Rings
Your wedding band should complement the center stone without competing with it. And to achieve this, the setting you choose is crucial as it’ll help determine the best pairing.
Straight Bands With Bezel Set Dutch Marquise Rings
A bezel setting often works well with a straight band because its clean edges leave plenty of room for the wedding band to sit alongside it. When a clean profile meets a clean band, you get a polished, minimal bridal combination that keeps the Dutch Marquise at the center of attention.
Curved Bands for Solitaire and Halo Dutch Marquise Settings
A curved wedding band is shaped to sit right next to your engagement ring without any gap between them. It is a perfect match for solitaire and halo Dutch Marquise settings, making the two rings look like they belong together.
