The Story: Late 18th century French navette ring, with rose cut diamonds in a silver setting, and a lovely natural pearl in the center. Navette translates to "little boat" in French, and navette rings mimic the shape of the marquis cut, which was commissioned by Louis XV for his mistress, Madame de Pompadour. Sourced in the Loire Valley, this is a classically French piece.
The Details: Band tests as 18k gold. Stones set in fine silver with a rich patina. Pearl is creamy white with slightly silvery undertones, and almost no wear to nacre.
Size: 6.5 Weight: 4.34 grams Condition: Very good antique condition.
