The elongated shape of marquise similar to oval cut diamonds will make your fingers appear longer and more slender, it’s a very flattered look on hands that are smaller or with shorter fingers. The table of this cut also makes the diamond appear larger face-up than most other diamonds with the same carat weight. You can also go crazy with the setting and band pairing like Selena’s because the cut of this main stone is so unique, that it’s hard to be overpowered.
