Pieces of jewellery in the so-called "marquise" shape are objects that are seen again and again today, the significance of which is rarely questioned. However, the story behind them is a very romantic one. This shape is named after the Marquise Jeanne de Pompadour (1721 - 1764), the mistress of King Louis XV, who commissioned his court jeweler to create a new diamond cut in the years around 1750. This was to have the shape of his lover's lips. This two-pointed shape developed into a major jewellery fashion towards the end of the 19th century. This gold and silver ring dates from around 1890. Gently sparkling diamond roses form the setting of this fine ring. The shuttle-shaped ring face glitters with sparkling reflections of light with every movement. The ring came to us here in Berlin and is very small in size. We would be happy to customize it for you.

Rose-cut diamonds, also known as "rose coronee", can be found in jewelry from as early as the 16th century. Famous diamonds such as the Orloff and the Grand Mogul are rose-cut. This form of diamond cut is characterized by the fact that the upper side of the diamond is richly faceted and the underside is cut flat. This creates a very specific, soft shimmer that is very different from the sometimes glaring brilliance of today's diamonds.
