Vintage Yellow Gold Marquise Diamond Solitaire Necklace-
The quality of this marquise diamond is stunning! The perfect gift for an anniversray or birthday, could also be the perfect accessory with your bridal gown! The name “marquise” refers to a hereditary rank above a count but below a duke and comes from the fact that courtiers wore marquise cut diamonds in order to show off their rank. Marquise diamonds are also often referred to as “navette” diamonds, which means “little ship” in French, because of the marquise diamond’s boat-like shape.
The marquise diamond dates all the way back to 1745, though it was not quite the stone we now known today. It first appeared in Paris, during the peak of the French Monarchy when King Louis XV requested a diamond to be shaped like the smile of his mistress, Marchioness Madam de Pompadour. Throughout the 20th century the marquise shape continued to be developed into the brilliant cut diamond we recognize today.
Between the 1960s and the 1980s, the marquise diamond was at the height of its popularity. While it may not be one of the top four shapes for engagement rings, many celebrities have gone for this intriguing shape. Ashley Simpson, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Victoria Beckham are just several famous individuals who chose this majestic shape. In addition, the stone is used quite often as a side stone.
