Victorian French 18K gold Emeralds diamond marquise Ring
This stunning Victorian-era French marquise ring, crafted in 18K yellow gold, is a celebration of both elegance and emotion. At its heart lies a graceful line of 5 vivid green emeralds, cushion-cut and arranged along a gently elongated marquise-shaped panel. Their total estimated weight of approximately 0.6 carats brings a rich, joyful energy—perfectly attuned to the vibrancy of summer.
Surrounding the emeralds, a frame of 24 rose-cut diamonds shimmers softly, catching the light with delicate, antique sparkle. These early diamond cuts, prized for their subtle glimmer, lend a timeless romanticism to the ring, beautifully balancing the bold green of the emeralds. The gemstones are mounted in silver and then mounted in 18K yellow gold (French eagle’s head hallmark).
The marquise shape itself has an illustrious past. Originating in 18th-century France, it’s said to have been commissioned by King Louis XV to mimic the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour. Its elongated, eye-like silhouette soon became a fashionable and enduring symbol of love, refinement, and sensuality. In the Victorian era, the marquise ring found new life, often used to frame gemstones in richly decorative styles that spoke to both sentiment and status.
Today, the marquise design is seeing a graceful revival—its romantic origins and flattering shape making it a favorite among collectors and lovers of antique jewelry alike.
