Celebrity Marquise Diamond Engagement Rings: Inspirations
Few silhouettes carry the old world glamour of the marquise cut, and right now, celebrity marquise engagement rings are having a well deserved moment in the spotlight. From headline proposals to quietly shaping royal history for over sixty years, the elongated marquise diamond keeps proving that it never really left.
At Razny Jewelers, we have watched clients fall for this shape again and again, drawn to how it manages to look both bold and refined on the hand at once. Below, we look at three women who wore the marquise cut beautifully, along with the in-store pieces that let you bring a similar feeling home.
What Makes a Marquise Diamond So Iconic
The marquise diamond gets its long, pointed silhouette from a shape reportedly commissioned by King Louis XV to resemble the smile of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour. That elongated form does more than turn heads. A well-cut marquise diamond ring can visually lengthen the finger and often appears larger than a round or cushion stone of the same carat weight, which is part of why the cut keeps returning to the spotlight generation after generation.
Selena Gomez and Her Bold Marquise Diamond
When Selena Gomez announced her engagement to Benny Blanco in December 2024, her ring introduced a new generation to the marquise cut. The center stone sits in a noticeably wide, yellow gold band with larger diamonds worked into the design, giving the whole piece a bold, sculptural presence rather than a delicate one.
If you are drawn to that same confident, wide band energy, our Refined by Razny collection includes a Sideways Marquise Diamond Eternity Wedding Band that channels the same spirit, with marquise diamonds set edge to edge for a continuous, modern sparkle.
Victoria Beckham's Original Marquise Ring
Long before her fifteen piece collection made headlines, Victoria Beckham's very first engagement ring from David Beckham in 1998 was a three-carat marquise-cut diamond set in yellow gold. It was later paired with a pave band when the couple married, but that original marquise diamond remains one of the most recognized in celebrity history.

Jackie Kennedy's Refined Marquise Details
Jackie Kennedy's engagement ring from John F. Kennedy began in 1953 as a Van Cleef and Arpels toi et moi design, pairing a Colombian emerald with an emerald-cut diamond on a bypass band. In 1962, she had the ring redesigned, replacing the original baguettes with marquise-cut diamonds arranged in a laurel wreath pattern, a refined detail that softened the symmetry while keeping the two stone story intact.
That bypass silhouette lives on in the Marquise and Round Diamond Bypass Ring from our Refined by Razny line, a piece built for anyone who loves the idea of two complementary diamond shapes moving around the finger together.
Why the Marquise Ring Keeps Rising in Popularity
Between a new celebrity engagement and decades of royal history, it is easy to see why celebrity marquise engagement rings keep capturing attention. The shape flatters nearly every hand, reads as more unique than a round solitaire, and pairs beautifully with both vintage and modern settings. If you want to compare the marquise diamond against other silhouettes before deciding, our full engagement rings collection makes it simple to browse side by side.

Kennedy was redesigned in 1962 to include marquise-cut accent diamonds.
Is marquise a popular engagement ring cut?
