Although we take care of the quality of our antique jewelry, they have a history. As a result, some gems may be slightly polished and the metal may have a slight patina.
According to history, the name "marquise" was given to a ring in homage to the Marquise de Pompadour, for whom King Louis XV had a diamond cut in this particular shape to remind him of her smile.
