The Marceau necklace in rose gold and ruby

Always striking in presence, the Marceau necklace charms with its delicate design, where soft and sensual lines create a subtle elegance. It gently evokes the aesthetics of vintage jewellery, as a refined nod to heritage-inspired creations. Its vintage charm is fully expressed through a pear-cut ruby, enhanced by the warmth of 18K rose gold. A true jewel of light, the Marceau necklace naturally belongs within the Suzanne collection, embodying its poetry and refinement.

The story behind the piece

The pear cut is the result of a subtle balance between the brilliant cut’s sparkle and the elongated elegance of the marquise shape. Its origin dates back to 1476 in Bruges, where Flemish cutter Lodewyk van Berquem created an early version called the “briolette,” featuring a fully faceted stone. The modern pear shape truly emerged in the early 20th century, around 1900.

The jeweller’s word

Reinterpreted in 18K rose gold, the Marceau necklace reveals a sensual elegance with delicately refined accents. It highlights the uniqueness of the pear cut through a hand-set diamond halo that precisely enhances its brilliance. Between the subtle warmth of rose gold and the luminous purity of the stones, this creation naturally rests along the neckline, where it sits with grace and fluidity.
