Pieces of jewellery in the so-called "marquise" shape are objects whose meaning is rarely questioned. Yet there is a very romantic story behind them! This shape is named after the Marquise Jeanne de Pompadour (1721-1764), a mistress of King Louis XV of France. Around 1750, Louis commissioned his court jeweller to create a new diamond cut. This was to have the shape of his mistress's lips. In addition to sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds, these earrings each feature a diamond in precisely this shape. The diamonds are arranged in a vertical line. A marquise diamond is pendant-set below each two brilliant-cut diamonds. The diamonds are set in high-carat white gold. The design is reduced entirely to the sparkling diamonds; the earrings seem to consist of nothing but light. The beautiful movement of the marquise diamonds gives the pair a lively fire. Large, practical studs ensure a secure and straight fit on the ear. We were able to purchase the pair here in Berlin.
