Pompadour Rings

History and origin of the Pompadour ring

In 18th-century Paris, during the reign of Louis XV, Madame de Pompadour, royal favourite and patron of the arts, imposed her taste and style on the French court. An exceptional piece of jewellery emerged from this rococo period: the Pompadour ring. Characterised by a majestic centre stone surrounded by a halo of diamonds or other precious stones, this precious piece embodies French elegance and refinement.

Come and discover our collection in the heart of the prestigious 15th arrondissement of Paris, where our boutique Les Pierres de Julie welcomes you opposite the Village Suisse and a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower and the Invalides. We invite you to rediscover this timeless style that has stood the test of time.

Pompadour diamond ring: the eternal radiance of a precious jewel

Which stone to choose for a Pompadour ring?

The beauty of a Pompadour ring lies in the harmony between the central stone and its surroundings. Diamonds, with their incomparable lustre, remain the classic choice par excellence. Their purity and brilliance, sublimated by the surrounding crown of diamonds, create an utterly elegant ensemble, perfect for a proposal or an important anniversary.
