He gave this jewel afterwards to his daughter Elly Porgés (1878-1946) who became Marquise de la Ferté Meung after her marriage the Marquis in 1898. Jules Porges (1839-1921), descended from a prominent Austro-Hungarian family, was born in Vienna and was raised in Prague where his father was a master jeweler. By the 1860s he had settled in Paris where he quickly established himself as a leading force in the diamond trade and founded Jules Porges \u0026amp; Company. By the time diamonds were discovered in South Africa, he had amassed a tremendous fortune and was considered the leading diamond merchant in the world. In 1876, Porges himself arrived in Kimberley, playing the unusual role as both consumer and producer of diamonds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19564113854534,"sku":"S-1059","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0038\/5545\/0182\/products\/S-1059-A_Cartier_Rose_Cut_necklace-A.jpg?v=1544664283","url":"https:\/\/saidiansons.com\/en-sg\/products\/ely-porges-cartier-rose-cut-necklace","provider":"Joseph Saidian \u0026 Sons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
