Antique 18K gold emerald diamond marquise ring
This beautiful 19th-century 18K gold marquise features a vibrant emerald at its center, set in a cushion cut weighing approximately 0.3 carats. The emerald's vivid green hue is beautifully complemented by a dazzling array of rose-cut diamonds that encircle it, adding a touch of brilliance and sparkle. The marquise shape of the ring ensures impressive coverage on the finger, capturing light from every angle.
The marquise cut, also known as the navette or "boat-shaped" cut, originated in the 18th century and is named after Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of King Louis XV of France. The shape was designed to mimic the smile of the Marquise de Pompadour, blending elegance with elongated grace. This distinctive cut became popular for its ability to create an illusion of greater size and to enhance the play of light, making it a favored choice for elegant and opulent jewelry.
The combination of the vivid emerald and sparkling rose-cut diamonds ensures that this ring stands out as a brilliant and enchanting piece. With its unique antique charm and dazzling brilliance, this ring is an ideal choice for a one-of-a-kind engagement ring.
