18K Gold Marquise Diamond Ring, Vintage, Paris

The mid-20th century in Paris was a time when jewelers often turned to historic forms, infusing them with a modern touch.
This marquise-shaped ring is a striking example of such reinterpretation – its slender, elongated silhouette evokes memories of aristocratic elegance while revealing the bold spirit of 1960s jewelry.

Crafted in 18-karat gold (750 fineness), the warm hue of yellow gold contrasts beautifully with the cool gleam of white gold in the setting.
At its center, like ripples on the surface of the Seine, run rows of meticulously set old-cut diamonds, creating a hypnotic rhythm of light.
Each stone is mounted to highlight its individual character, a testament to the handcraftsmanship of an experienced jeweler.

Marquise rings of this kind, popular in Paris in the mid-20th century, were often commissioned as cocktail rings – showpieces that were still refined enough to accompany their wearer to both glamorous evening receptions and more intimate gatherings.
This piece has preserved not only its original brilliance but also the entire charm of French vintage jewelry, where elegance and audacity walk hand in hand.
