The marquise shape earned its French name \"navette\"—meaning little boat—from its hull-like outline that tapers to points at both ends. Fifteen brilliant cuts totaling approximately 0.45 carats, each individually prong-set in yellow gold heads that contrast against what appears to be a white gold band showing through decades of wear. Someone had this ring replated at some point—probably switching it from white to yellow gold when fashion changed—and now sixty years of wear has revealed both stories. The French eagle head hallmark for 18-karat gold has been worn nearly smooth, alongside what appears to be a maker's mark, both leaving ghost impressions in the metal. At 4.3 grams of solid 18-karat gold, the weight confirms authentic period construction regardless of which color shows through.\u003c!-- notionvc: bb096a3e-5ec1-4f6c-b3ed-b1608174b1ae --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003eNamed for a boat, built like architecture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K yellow gold (750) appears to be white gold band with remnants of yellow gold plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.3 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52 EU (US 6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRESIZING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be sized up or down 1.5 sizes maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHALLMARKS:\u003c\/strong\u003e French 750 mark and maker's mark (worn but visible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-fabricated with individual prong settings\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stones + Orbits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48493166625020,"sku":null,"price":1350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/9295\/3084\/files\/StonesAndOrbits_FrenchMarquiseNavetteRing.png?v=1763245681","url":"https:\/\/stonesandorbits.com\/products\/mid-century-french-18k-diamond-marquise-cluster-ring","provider":"Stones + Orbits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
