Details: An absolutely stunning 18k French Romantic period rose cut diamond navette (French for boat-or marquis-shaped) ring. Chunky old rose cuts fill every part of this lovely beauty. The diamonds are hand cut with no two stones exactly alike. Each stone is bead-set and the back is enclosed with foiling to enhance the sparkle under candlelight. The ring sits low on the hand and the slightly rosy yellow gold shank is simple and clean with a slight widening of the shoulder near the face of the ring.  

This quality and condition is very good and this is a rare ring. The imperfect brilliance and age of this show stopping ring add to it's covetousness and collectability. 

This boat-shaped style - a very popular antique shape  -  originated in the 1700's when King Louis XV requested a cut/style of ring that emulated the smile of his mistress, hence the term "marquis." 

Measurements: The ring size is 7 1/2 and can be sized. 

Origin: French, c. 1830/40's. French eagle hallmark for 18k.  

Notes: If you'd like to have this ring sized, please indicate the size in the "Special Instructions" box at checkout and allow minimum 3 weeks for sizing and delivery. Depending on the work, extra timing or fees may be assessed and we will contact you. Once sized the ring is a final sale but repairs or adjustments can be made.
