Vintage Ring with 2.01 ct Marquise Diamond, New York 2017

Every diamond has its own story, and every person has their own style. When style and history come together, the result is sometimes a piece of jewellery with a timeless allure. The vintage ring we see here is just such a piece of jewellery. It was crafted in the United States and features an unusual diamond at its center. But what’s the story behind the diamond’s shape? The cut, with its 56 facets, corresponds to that of a classic brilliant-cut diamond, yet the basic shape is not a circle—it is elongated and oval, tapering to two points. It is called the “marquise cut.” But why? Inspired by his muse, the Marquise de Pompadour—whom we know from the ethereal paintings of François Boucher—Louis XV commissioned his gem cutters to cut a diamond that would resemble the mouth and, thus, the smile of his beloved. This legendary story already hints that this cut is something truly special—and indeed, the marquise cut is considered very difficult to create, and a well-executed stone is always a small masterpiece. The ring presented here features a large marquise-cut diamond set in white gold. The 2.01-carat stone has a warm tinted colour and very good fire. To the side of the stone’s center is a larger, lighter-coloured inclusion. To make this less noticeable to the eye, the diamond was filled with a highly refractive resin at this point. As a result, the stone appears eye-clean and radiant despite the inclusion. Four additional trapezoid-cut diamonds adorn the ring shoulders to the right and left of the center stone, emphasizing this axis across the finger. According to the previous owner, the ring was purchased in August 2017 on 47th Street in New York City. 47th Street in Manhattan is the center of the diamond and jewellery trade in the United States. The section between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue is known as the Diamond District and is home to numerous jewelers, diamond dealers, and gemstone experts. Since the 1920s, the street has developed into one of the most important diamond trading centers in the U.S. Visitors will find a wide selection of jewellery, gemstones, and watches here, as well as the bustling atmosphere of a historic commercial district in the heart of Manhattan. We had an independent appraisal conducted on the ring, which confirmed the quality of the diamonds. It is included with the ring, which was sent to us here in Berlin.
