Marcus & Co. 14K Gold Carved Citrine & Diamond Butterfly Ring – Size 6.5
This exquisite vintage ring by Marcus & Co. is a fine example of the brand’s celebrated craftsmanship, blending playful design with elegant detailing. Crafted in solid 14K yellow gold, the piece features a striking butterfly motif with intricately carved citrine gemstones forming the wings. The citrines, each measuring approximately 3.6 mm x 9.01 mm x 8.38 mm, display a warm, golden-orange hue that reflects light beautifully through their textured, fan-like carving. Two small round brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 1/64 ct each) accent the center, adding a touch of refined sparkle.
The band is signed “Marcus” and hallmarked 14K, linking the piece to the historic New York jewelry house Marcus & Co., known for its Art Nouveau and Art Deco designs and its reputation for superb gemstone work. While this ring is likely from their later years, it retains the artistic elegance that made Marcus & Co. a premier American jeweler in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This unique butterfly design offers a whimsical yet luxurious aesthetic, making it both a conversation piece and a collectible treasure.
Condition:
In excellent condition with no damage. The citrine stones are securely set and show excellent clarity with no visible chips or scratches. The diamonds remain bright and well-polished, and the gold band exhibits only minimal handling wear, retaining its original luster.
