18th Century Diamond And Coque de Perle Ring of the Marie Antoinette Period
Be still my beating heart – oh how cruel that I cannot safeguard this 18th century, Marie Antoinette period jewel on my hand forever!
A remarkable coque de perle ring with rose cut diamonds arranged in the most sensual latticework shield at top the finger. While the design of the ring is superb, the star of the show is the soft cream, coque de perle! Inset with a luxurious 18th century coque de perle- a style of creating faux pearl that has become highly coveted as it was only created for a short time at the end of the 18th century using the inner surface of a nautilus shell, filled with cement to stabilize it. The most desirable examples are thus presented with diamonds like this one! I am certain that whoever acquires this textbook worthy gem will go about their life with a treasured secret that they own a singular piece of history!
