Mid-Century Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring

This stunning mid-century engagement ring is a rare treasure, found in unworn condition from the estate of a retired jeweler. Crafted during the early rise of the marquise-cut diamond's popularity, it highlights the elegance of this elongated shape, especially favored by those with long fingers for its graceful coverage and refined appearance.

This natural diamond is of exceptional quality, featuring a superb cut that sparkles from every angle. It is flanked by a single diamond accent on either side, and at first glance, a flat white gold area resembles a baguette. The white diamonds are set in white gold—a neutral and durable metal—while the ring's shank is crafted from yellow gold. This combination of metals creates a versatile look, making it a perfect choice for an engagement ring.
