Vintage White Gold Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring-
A marquise cut diamond is a chic diamond silhouette that not only boasts a noble name, the marquise but has an actual royal history to its origin. The marquise diamond cut was heralded in regal circles for centuries—and its popularity trickled down to mainstream consumer appreciation in the late 60s to the early 1970s. Over time, however, because the cut had become so popular in bridal jewelry, it became known as 'my mother's diamond', and younger shoppers turned away from it. Happily, that has all changed as modern shoppers are taking a fresh look at this timeless stone.
Legend says it all began at a masked ball in Versailles. King Louis XV encountered Jean Antoinette Poisson. The King was so smitten by her that he made her his chief mistress with a key a place in his court as the Marquise de Pompadour (also known as Madame du Pompadour). He declared that hers were the most perfect lips he had ever seen. When the king commissioned a royal jeweler to create a design and shape of diamond that looked most like her lips, the marquise cut was born!
