Did you know the marquise diamond was originally designed to maximize carat weight? Meaning it can look larger than other cuts of the same size?

But here’s what most people don’t realize. It’s also one of the most technical cuts to get right.

From the exact proportions to the symmetry of the points, even the smallest detail can completely change how it reflects light.

That’s why not all marquise diamonds are created equal, and why it takes experience to know what to look for.

At Thomas James & Bechtold, it’s a cut we truly specialize in.

When it’s done right… you can see the difference.

You probably already own pieces you would LOVE to wear again, but they just need a little attention.

A broken clasp.
A loose stone.
A ring that doesn’t fit like it used to.

And instead of fixing it… you stop wearing it and go buy something new.

At Thomas James & Bechtold, this is one of the busiest times of year for a reason. Jewelry repair season is real, and most pieces are far from “done.”

Before you replace it… bring it in. Let us take a look.

You might be surprised what’s possible.

When it comes to selecting diamonds, it’s not as simple as picking a grade off a sheet. At Thomas James & Bechtold Jewelry, our job is to truly understand you. What you find beautiful, what matters most, and what will take your breath away.

A great jeweler acts as your expert filter; making sure every diamond not only meets its grade, but that the inclusions fall exactly where they should. Because a diamond can check every box on paper and still not be the one.

That’s the difference between buying a diamond and having someone who knows diamonds choose one for you.

We curate for YOU, with intention, and would love to help create something perfect for your special someone.
