The marquise cut was born in the court of Louis XV, commissioned to mirror the shape of the lips of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour — and its elongated, pointed form has carried that sense of aristocratic elegance ever since. In these extraordinary estate earrings, marquise-cut natural diamonds totaling approximately 5.72 carats form the graceful leaf silhouette, while baguette-cut diamonds — approximately 3.60 carats — provide the precise, architectural accent work that elevates the design from beautiful to exceptional. Together, 9.30 total carats of natural diamonds are set in 18k yellow gold with the kind of deliberate, masterful stone placement that defines estate jewelry at its finest. At 1.5 inches in length and 18.6 grams, these earrings have the presence of a serious collector’s piece. Very good condition — a true heirloom.
