By the way, does anyone have any nice rose cuts? I am dying to get a rose cut diamond ring (RHR type thing).
Invented in the mid 16th century, the Rose Cut is also known by the the Antwerp rose, Crowned Rose Cut, Dutch Cut, and the Full Holland Cut. The Rose cut can form a single hemisphere for a total of 24 facets or it can be two back-to-back hemispheres (Double Dutch Rose) forming a total of 48 facets.
The "Senaille Cut" is a Rose cut with irregular or non-symmetrical faceting. The "Briolette Cut" is a modified Double Dutch Rose cut with one of the hemispheres being elongated.
Oh for heaven''s sake, don''t be!! Even with macro and all the time in the world (which you clearly didn''t have), great shots still aren''t that easy.Date: 8/17/2007 10:48:50 AM

I just saw your beautiful stone in another thread, but didn''t realize you didn''t have that beauty on your finger yet! How exciting. Hard to go wrong with a setting, I''d think, and the one you''re considering seems like a natural match.
I''ll be staying tuned....
That is a lovely lovely stone!! More photos of the stone please.Date: 8/17/2007 11:11:56 AM

My new 2.09 carat, K (w/strong blue fluorescence), VS1 Old Mine/Cushion. It''s still loose but is on its way to singlestone for polishing and setting.

Here is an image of a 17+ carat Antique Old-Mine Cut Diamond that came out of an important Russian Crown jewel sold by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution in 1917.
Its a Rare High Quality OMC.
It came out of a jewel created by Swedish jeweler Bolin circa 1850!!Date: 8/21/2007 10:45:28 AM
