What is a rose cut diamond?
- Considered one of the original diamond cuts, the rose cut diamond dates back to the early 1500s, yet few have heard of it.
- With anywhere from three to 24 triangular facets, rose cut diamonds peak into a dome or kite-shape.
- This structure resembles the soft curve of a rose petal, hence its name.
