... but I''m just knocked out by the whacky-huge appearance of rose cuts.


This diamond is just 1.11 ct (I, VS2. 11.5mm):

I would love to know the depth!

Cool looking ring for sure!
 
Ooohhh...I''d love to know where you''ve been finding these too! I love the look of rose cuts, but almost never see them around.
 
That pear rose cut you posted in another thread (I think it was you) was also pretty sweeeeeeet.
 
T & Co has been using some rose cuts in earrings and necklaces. They don''t do anything for me - not a whole lot of life or fire in the ones I''ve seen. I wouldn''t mind having a briolette cut, though.

Rose cuts are very spready for their carat weight: the cut is such that the bottom is completely flat, while the top is a dome with triangular facets. Basically, it is all crown and no pavilion.

Here''s an interesting read with pictures:

I had no idea they were completely flat on one side! Cool link, thanks!
 
I honestly love that ring. I love most all the older cut diamonds, what they lack in sparkle that make up in the history of the cut. I guess I am just a goof

I feel the same way about them. They look like diamonds that just had a good massage. I remember when I first saw a rose cut about 15 years ago, I thought, "If I ever get engaged (again)...

I love the history of the old cuts too, and I find this one very interesting. I definitely wouldn''t turn one down. Gah! I wish I had some decent antique jewellery stores around here.

But I read in another thread that they are also being cut new in India, is that correct? I have no idea what the pricing is like either.

I think rose cuts can be super cool.

Here''s a rose cut band from singlestone (5mm). I ADORE it and would love it as a RHR someday :)

Here's a nifty stash of RCs... some are antique, some are repros:

Do they fire? They''re so neat looking.
 
I have an antique ruby ring with rose cut diamond side stones and man do those babies give of some color. Yowza! Love them!
 
Wow, what a knockout ring!

I''ve been dying to see a rose cut in person. In pictures they look very ''glowy'', but not very fiery.
 
Some are crisper than others, but overall I think "glowy" is a good way to describe them.

The newer ones are interesting, but I love the old ones.

I tried on that ring at Rafinity! It is SOOOOOOO gorgeous. The photo doesn't do it justice.

I personally LOVE rose cuts. The old ones are my favorites. I would love a 'diamond by the yard' type necklace with them.
