What is a marquise cut?

A marquise cut is an elongated gemstone shape featuring curved sides and two pointed ends. This silhouette originates from eighteenth-century French royal aesthetics. In antique jewellery, this profile often forms the centrepiece of boat-shaped navette clusters designed to maximise visual presence on the hand.

How do I care for antique marquise jewellery?

Maintain these pieces by storing them individually in soft pouches to prevent gemstone contact and scratching. Regular gentle cleaning with warm soapy water removes accumulated oils. Avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners, particularly for softer coloured stones or fragile claw settings found in older pieces.

How can I tell Edwardian from Victorian pieces?

Edwardian items frequently utilise platinum settings combined with intricate millegrain detailing and lighter openwork frames. Diamonds are typically set to maximise white-on-white brilliance. Victorian examples more commonly employ yellow gold or silver-topped gold alongside slightly warmer, hand-cut old mine or rose diamonds in denser cluster arrangements.

Were these pieces worn daily?

Many cocktail and dress rings served as specialised accessories for evening events and formal social gatherings. Earrings and bracelets similarly accented grand attire during the early and mid-twentieth century. Durability varied by period, with platinum Art Deco designs offering robust everyday wear compared to delicate nineteenth-century yellow gold settings.
