Aura Marquise Diamond Ring in 18kt White Gold

Jason P

The staff at 1791 were very helpful to me. Spending a large amount of money on something that I had very little knowledge of was quite daunting. Not to mention that I also wanted to choose something that would suit my girlfriend. 1791 helped explain the various technical aspects of diamond jewellery, and also helped suggest styles for my girlfriend.

1791 were happy to customise the ring for me. I was very impressed that a computer rendering of what the ring would look like was sent to me. It was helpful to see how the finished ring would look.

I'm very happy to say that my girlfriend loves the ring.

Thank you for such a fantastic job. Your team have really been outstanding from start to finish, very professional and helpful, and without pressure. And the ring of course is flawless!

The Aura ring showcases the unique qualities of the marquise diamond. This cut is said to have been commissioned by Louis XIV to commemorate the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour, and it certainly adds a note of distinction to the Aura design.

The distinctive shape of the marquise diamond offers a stunning alternative to the traditional diamond shapes. It is an impressive looking stone and with its pointed edges at each end can often appear a larger carat weight than it is due, which can certainly be an advantage for the buyer. Its elongated shape is particularly suited to someone with slender fingers.

In the Aura design the marquise diamond is held in place in a Bezel setting. While this holds the diamond securely in place it can seem quite a plain setting. The sublime bead set rose gold wires entwined around the top of the ring band add a more decorative aspect to the Aura design.

The delicate colors of the rose gold wires and the champagne side stones blend beautifully and add warmth to this exquisite design.
