Watch for the Bow Tie Effect in Marquise Diamonds

When a master diamond cutter fashions a marquise diamond he uses a variation of the brilliant cut which results in 58 facets. When a marquise diamond is cut there are not any exact standard proportions regarding length to width. However, if the diamond clutter does not cut precisely cut the proportion that is needed to create the most brilliance in the stone, there is often a dark area in the center of the diamond. This area is commonly referred to as a “bow tie.” When shopping for your marquise diamond wedding band, make sure that the diamonds you select do not have this shadowy effect. If you have a marquise diamond that has a darker, less brilliant area in the center, it is possible to have the stone recut using slightly different proportions and make the bow tie disappear.
