Marquise vs. Round Diamond: Timeless Style or Modern Trend?

Question
I'm thinking of upgrading my original round diamond engagement ring.  I like the Marquise cut stone but I'm afaid it may be out of style or dated looking.  Would I be making a mistake to go with a Marquise cut or should I stick with the classic round cut?  Thank you!!

Answer
HI BEA,

THE MODERN ROUND BRILLIANT CUT IS THE MOST ACCEPTABLE CUT OF THE MODERN CUTS. IT RETAINS ITS VALUE BEST AND REALLY NEVER GOES OUT OF FASHION OR STYLE. THE MARQUISE CUT IS MUCH MORE SUBJECTIVE. A GOOD CUT MARQUISE CAN FAR OUT SHINE A ROUND BRILLIANT IF IT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL CUT. THE STONE HAS TO PLEASE YOU NOT ANYONE ELSE AND SHOULD BE YOUR STYLE AND PREFERENCE. GOOD LUCK.
