The Marceau necklace in white gold, pear-cut rubies and diamonds

The Marceau necklace in white gold, pear-cut ruby and diamonds is an iconic piece in the Suzanne collection, renowned for its vintage and romantic inspirations. The pear-cut ruby at the heart of the necklace is a strikingly beautiful stone, carefully chosen for its elegant shape and vibrant color. The diamond surround adds a touch of sparkle to the jewel, and the white gold chain supporting the pendant displays unparalleled brilliance!

For the record

The pear cut is a gemstone cut (i.e. the way the gem is cut, not its size) distinguished by its distinctive teardrop shape. This cut combines the characteristics of the brilliant cut and the marquise cut, creating a unique, elegant shape that tapers to a rounded point at one end and opens wider at the other. Because of its delicate symmetry, the pear cut requires great skill on the part of stonecutters to create a perfect visual balance between the two ends of the stone. When well executed, this cut enhances the gem's color and brilliance while adding a touch of originality and elegance to the overall jewelry design.

The contrast between the ruby and the accompanying diamonds creates a fascinating play of light, accentuating the natural brilliance of the central gemstone. The design of the Marceau necklace in white gold reflects the meticulous attention to detail and high quality craftsmanship that are the hallmarks of Maison Lepage. This piece thus captures the essence of the vintage heritage inspired by the jewelry of our elders, while fitting perfectly into the zeitgeist...
