Ring story · Modern

A marquise,
framed in gold.

The Colette Marquise Split-Shank Ring by Marrow Fine centres a luminous 1-carat marquise diamond in a sleek bezel, set on a graceful split-shank band of 14k yellow gold. The bezel frames the elongated diamond cleanly, while the split shank gently parts around it — a subtle echo of two lives intertwining. Modern, elegant, and quietly romantic, it’s a marquise diamond engagement ring that feels like a story come to life.

Who she is

A ring for a woman who
loves artful romance.

This is for someone drawn to modern, elegant design with a romantic soul — a ring that’s sleek and clean, but carries meaning in its details. She loves the drama of a marquise diamond and the artistry of a thoughtful setting, values craftsmanship and individuality, and wants something that feels like a chapter of her own story. Creative, graceful, and quietly bold. If you’re searching for a bezel-set marquise engagement ring — or an “I love you” ring that feels like a fairytale come true — the Colette captures it beautifully.

The split shank seems to part like forest shadows — a subtle echo of two lives gently intertwining.

It’s made for the woman drawn to modern and minimalist design — a sleek, artful marquise engagement ring with a romantic detail. And because the bezel wraps the diamond in a smooth, protective, low-profile frame with nothing raised to snag, it’s a genuinely practical choice for a detail-driven IT specialist, or anyone who wants a distinctive ring that’s built for everyday life.


What sets it apart

Three things that make it
special.

01

A luminous bezel-set marquise

At its centre is a 1-carat marquise diamond — excellent cut, H colour, SI clarity — framed in a sleek bezel setting. The elongated marquise shape is dramatic and elegant, and the smooth bezel frames it cleanly, emphasising its long lines. It’s a distinctive, modern take on a marquise engagement ring — luminous, sculptural, and full of presence.
The split shank
The band gently parts around the diamond — a subtle echo of two lives intertwining. Meaning in the details.
02

A graceful split-shank band

The split-shank band divides as it approaches the centre, gently parting around the marquise diamond. It’s a detail that adds architectural interest and grace, framing the stone beautifully — and it carries a quiet meaning too, a subtle echo of two lives gently intertwining. Elegant, considered, and romantic without being fussy.
03

A protective bezel, made to last

The sleek bezel wraps the marquise in a smooth frame of gold, protecting the diamond while giving the ring a clean, modern silhouette. Handcrafted in solid 14k yellow gold by Marrow Fine, it’s both beautiful and genuinely practical — a bezel-set design built for real, everyday wear, and made to last a lifetime.

In real life

Sleek, secure, and
made for every day.

This is one of the most practical ways to wear a marquise diamond. The bezel wraps the stone completely, protecting its edges — especially the delicate pointed tips of the marquise — and leaves nothing raised to snag on gloves, clothing, or daily tasks. That makes it especially well suited to busy, hands-on lives. A diamond is the hardest gemstone, and solid 14k gold is durable and ages beautifully. An occasional gentle clean keeps the marquise bright. Artful, romantic, and genuinely built to be lived in.


Common questions

FAQ — what people
actually ask.

What is a split-shank ring?

A split shank is a band that divides into two as it approaches the centre stone, gently framing it. It adds architectural interest and grace, and here it carries a lovely meaning too — a subtle echo of two lives intertwining. It’s a beautiful, romantic detail that sets the Colette apart from a plain band.

Why is a bezel setting good for a marquise diamond?

A bezel wraps the diamond in a smooth band of gold, which is especially valuable for a marquise because it protects the stone’s delicate pointed tips. It also holds the diamond securely with no raised prongs to snag, making a bezel-set marquise one of the most durable, everyday-friendly ways to wear this dramatic shape.

Is a marquise diamond good for an engagement ring?

A marquise is an elongated, pointed diamond cut prized for its dramatic, elegant shape and the way it flatters the finger. It’s a distinctive, modern-yet-timeless choice for someone who wants their engagement ring to stand apart from a classic round — especially in a protective bezel like this one.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes — the protective bezel, low profile, and durable 14k gold make it well suited to daily wear, with little to snag and the marquise’s delicate tips safely framed. With simple everyday care and the occasional gentle clean, it stays beautiful for a lifetime.
