Mid-Century Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring

This stunning mid-century engagement ring is a remarkable find, arriving in unworn, new-old-stock condition. It was purchased from the estate of a retired jeweler. Created during the early popularity of the marquise-cut diamond, this ring showcases the beauty of this elegant style. The marquise cut was particularly favored by those with long fingers, as it covers more surface area on the hand and looks especially refined.

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 shank of the ring is crafted from yellow gold. This combination of metals creates a versatile look, making it a perfect choice for an engagement ring.
