Did you know this shape originated with King Louis XIV in France? It was frequently worn as a sign of status by members of the Court, though it was first modeled after the lips of the Sun Kin’s mistress. No wonder it has an air of majesty about it.

So much Old World beauty in these designs! While gorgeous on its own, this diamond is only enhanced further by halos, baguettes, pavé bands or mix-ins with colorful gems. We’re suckers for a pop of sapphire or ruby!
