Where marquise melee is used
- Navette and leaf motifs — the pointed ends give a petal or leaf outline without extra metalwork.
- Side stones beside oval, marquise and pear centres, usually as a matched pair at 4×2 or 5×2.5 mm.
- East–west accents in bands and shoulders, where a 2:1 marquise fills a longer seat than a round of the same width.
- Halos on marquise centres, following the outline more cleanly than rounds at the tips.
Setting notes
The points are the vulnerable part of a marquise: a V-prong or a tip-covering bezel protects them, and the seat should support the stone at the belly rather than the tips. Every Caratura marquise size is calibrated to ±0.1 mm in both length and width, so the seat can be cut to the nominal size rather than fitted stone by stone. For pairs, order both stones in one order and note "matched pair"; they are sorted together from the same lot.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy just one or two marquise moissanite melee stones?
Yes. Caratura sells marquise melee individually — the minimum is one stone — at $3 to $11 per stone depending on size, with no wholesale minimum. Shipping is $20 flat worldwide, free over $100, with duties prepaid.
What sizes of marquise moissanite melee are available and what do they cost?
Five calibrated 2:1 sizes: 3×1.5 mm ($3), 4×2 mm ($5), 5×2.5 mm ($7), 6×3 mm ($9) and 7×3.5 mm ($11) per stone, in D colour / VVS clarity, calibrated to ±0.1 mm. Larger marquise stones are cut to order in about 7 days.
Will two marquise stones ordered together match as a pair?
Stones in one order are supplied from one matched lot and hand-inspected for size, colour and cut consistency before dispatch. Note 'matched pair' in the order comments and the two stones are sorted together; if any stone is outside ±0.1 mm, report it within 14 days for a free replacement or refund.
How long does it take to receive marquise melee from Caratura?
