Brundage Jewelers has the diamonds of your dreams. Come in today to see why our stunning selection of diamond jewelry makes us a leading jewelry store in Louisville.

To carry a large collection of loose diamonds, a store must have a connection to talented diamond cutters. We have access to some of the leading diamond cutters in the world. When cutting a diamond these cutters must decide how to cut the rough stone. Besides going with the popular round brilliant cut, a cutter will have to decide between cutting a marquise or to cut it down into smaller stones. The issue with this is that smaller diamonds are as valuable as a larger one. Take a one carat traditional cut diamond, which is about six hundred, but if you have a carat worth of small diamonds, it will only cost you $450. Certified diamonds will vary greatly depending on the cut and weight of the diamond.

Diamond rings with a marquise cut, sometimes known as a navette cut, are not worth as much as a round when weighing the same. The reason for this lack in price stems from the lesser brilliance of a marquise cut. This lack of brilliance is due to the elongated or stretched look of the stone. The cut was originally designed for Louis XIV. The elongated cut gives an effect known as the bow tie effect occurs. This is a dark area in the centre which resembles a black bow tie. It will almost always be there and is a negative quality which is worse sometimes than other times. You might not have noticed before but you will now. It happens in pear and tear drop shapes as well. This is why the traditional round cut is highest priced diamond.

Even though the Marquise cut is often in a proportion of 1:2 or the length is twice as long as the width. Sometimes, a cutter will have a long diamond that will be worth more in a marquise cut than two smaller round cuts. It is not the cut that the diamond cutter wants to make, and it is harder to cut and even worse the pointed ends are more easily broken, it nevertheless may end up being the most profitable. This cut will look amazing in diamond rings.

A marquise diamond ring will suit some long fingers admirably. It is unique, and sometimes different is good. You should come in today and our staff will fit you in beautiful marquise diamond jewelry for less than a round cut of equal size.
