Elegant, dramatic and back in the spotlight
The marquise cut is having a serious moment, thanks in no small part to Selena Gomez, whose stunning marquise engagement ring has set social feeds ablaze this year. With its elongated shape and pointed ends, the marquise diamond is bold, romantic, and effortlessly regal. It’s a vintage-inspired cut that feels thoroughly modern, making it a perfect choice for brides who want something just a bit different.
But how do you pair a marquise cut engagement ring with a wedding band? Whether you're going for sleek and simple or full-on sparkle, here are some dazzling ideas to help you find the perfect match.
Sometimes, the best way to highlight an eye-catching engagement ring is by keeping things clean and classic. A smooth, plain wedding band in platinum, yellow gold or white gold provides a subtle frame for your marquise stone, letting its shape and sparkle take centre stage.
This pairing is ideal if you love timeless style or prefer a minimalist stack. It also makes mixing and matching with other rings—like anniversary bands or eternity rings—a total breeze.
If your style leans towards the glamorous, a diamond wedding band might be just the thing. Choose from pavé, micro-set, or claw-set diamonds to add a glittering complement to your marquise engagement ring.
Because marquise diamonds already draw the eye with their length and brilliance, a slim diamond band can strike the perfect balance—adding shimmer without overwhelming the look. On the other hand, if you’re after maximum dazzle, a thicker diamond eternity band makes a fabulous statement.
Due to the pointed tips of a marquise stone, a traditional straight band can sometimes sit awkwardly against the engagement ring. That’s where contoured or curved bands come in—they’re specifically designed to hug the shape of your engagement ring for a flawless fit.
From soft curves to dramatic dips, these bands ensure your stack sits flush, creating a seamless, intentional look. They can be plain, diamond-studded, or even feature a mix of textures and finishes to complement your style.
Bonus: A custom-made contoured band guarantees a perfect fit—ideal if your marquise ring has an intricate or elevated setting.
Want to stand out? Pair your marquise cut ring with a wide or chunky band. This combination works beautifully when you want something modern and fashion-forward. A thicker band offers space for unique details—think brushed finishes, engraved patterns or larger diamonds—and adds a sense of balance to the elongated marquise shape.
It’s a bold look, no doubt, but one that radiates confidence and style. If your engagement ring is dainty or delicate, a wide wedding band can also provide a lovely contrast.
The beauty of the marquise cut lies in its versatility. It pairs beautifully with a range of band styles—from classic to contemporary, delicate to daring. You might even consider stacking more than one wedding band on either side of the engagement ring for a layered look that evolves with you over time.
The key? Try on different options, see how they feel, and don’t be afraid to trust your instincts. After all, this isn’t just about what looks good—it’s about what feels right.
Whether you're inspired by Selena’s sparkle or simply drawn to the elegance of the marquise cut, choosing the perfect wedding band is a chance to celebrate your style—and your story. So go ahead, mix, match, and make it magic. Happy pairing! 💍
