Description An unusual twist to a solitaire, this 1.04 carat Marquise-shaped Diamond solitaire is beautifully presented in a smooth 18 carat Yellow Gold setting. Because of its long, narrow shape, Marquise-cuts are often credited for making a finger appear longer and more slender (Posh Spice wears one) Diamond 1.04ct colour H clarity VS, 11mm in length * Marquise cut diamonds are not as popular as Princess cut or Round Brilliant but they do have a loyal following who adore this cut of stone in their diamond jewellery. Its origin is said to date back to the 18th century when King Louis XV of France commissioned a jeweller to design a cut shape that resembled the lips of his mistress, the Marchioness Madame de Pompadour
