Gold marquise ring: timeless elegance

The marquise ring is best recognised by its oblong shape with tapered ends that almost cover the phalanx. It takes its name from the Marquise de Pompadour, whom King Louis XV is said to have commissioned to cut a diamond in a shape intended to evoke her smile. The marquise ring takes its name from the marquise cut: originally, it was a gold ring set with a precious stone cut in the shape of a navette, with 55 to 58 facets. You will be able to find a marquise ring in the strict sense of the term among the antique jewelry of Bijouteries Gemme, particularly among pieces from the 1970s. Many marquise ring models retain the navette shape but are set with several small 0.50 to 1.90 carat diamonds, or even different precious stones for a multicoloured effect.
