About Rose Cut Diamond

Rose Cut Diamond is a unique geometrical shape given to a polished diamond. The pattern resembles a full-bodied rose bud. Its multi-facet anatomy carries a distinctive flat bottom which is further elevated into a progressive spiral dome at the top. Among various popular cuts and shapes of Diamond, the Rose Cut Diamond is much sought-after one because of its subtle beauty that not only focuses on the antique designer cut but also accentuates the sheen of the exquisite gemstone to a significant extent.

This unique cut was introduced in the 16 th century by a group of diamond cutters in Holland. In an attempt to revitalize the classical diamond cuts, several experiments were initiated to shape up diamonds that radiate extraordinary brilliance coupled with the passionate appeal of rose. Soon the magic of floral patterns in the Rose Cut Diamonds has won the hearts of many including diamond experts, gemologists and fan following. The classical beauty of a rose is nicely captured in the multiple layers, triangular facets and cross faceted crowns of a rose cut diamond. With a flat base, a rose cut diamond may have varying number of facets, ranging from 3 to 18 and even 24 in some cases.

Besides the flat-bottomed dome-shaped basic rose cut diamond, there are other interesting variations of this unique piece of art. The traditional oval or the Briolette, the Antwerp Rose with hexagonal pattern and the most popular Double Dutch Rose are to name a few. With the rise in demand, more rose cuts are introduced by jewelers and diamond experts that include the cross rose Cut, the Chiffre, the marquise rose cut, the Pendeloque rose cut and the Rose recoupée cut. The Double Dutch Rose featuring two roses placed back to back is one of the hot favorites. Sometimes, a thin inner lining of gold or silver foil reflector is used in a rose cut to add more shine to the Diamond.

Rose Cut Diamonds symbolizes the old-age glory. Nowadays, they are widely used in repairing, restoring and reproducing antique jewelry. Moreover, if you are keen to have an antique touch in your Diamond Studded Ring, a rose cut is no doubt an affordable option. With enhanced clarity, scintillating sparkle and vintage feel, a rose cut diamond still remains a favorite in fashion-forward styles. However, due to its prong or flush settings, there is a recurrent possibility of getting its facets chipped or damaged. So, special attention and care should be given to a rose cut diamond.
