Rose Cut Diamonds In Fashion
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007
We saw them on Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes, we saw them on Felicity Huffman and Cate Blanchett at the SAG Awards, but what exactly are rose cut diamonds? The rose cut is one of the older diamond cuts, it came into being in the 16th century when diamonds were polished using diamond dust. It has a flat bottom and a faceted top that rises to a point, making them dramatically different from the modern brilliant cut which has a flat table on the top, a faceted crown and a pointed pavilion underneath.
