Vintage Marquise rings were allegedly invented as a love token, from the King of France to his lover, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson. Her title at court, the ‘Marquise de Pompadour’ is where vintage Marquise rings get their name. This origin story, their unique beauty and rarity means that vintage Marquise engagement rings are some of the most popular engagement rings.
