CUT
OF AN ANTIQUE CUT
As the name suggests, the rose-cut diamond is named after its floral appearance.
Its triangular facets resemble petals unfolding into a rosebud.
Each Roos1835 collection is mainly characterised by the use of rose-cut diamonds. The rose is a historical cut of the diamond, which, unlike the brilliant, has a flat back and a domed top. Although the first rose diamond dates back to the 1500s, it did not experience its glory days until three hundred years later in the Victorian era. Today, despite its unique sparkle, the cut is a rarity in the world of jewellery.
Rose-cut diamonds offer a distinctive visual experience because of the way the light plays on their hand-cut and limited amount of facets. The number of facets varies from just three to a maximum of 24, ending at the very top in a single apex.
The flat bottom of the rose has two striking effects.
No facets at the bottom equates to less reflection of light, making the diamond appear more transparent and ethereal than its brightly twinkling counterpart.
Furthermore, rose-cut diamonds carry all their carat weight on top and not below the belt. From the same point of view, a rose-cut diamond appears to be a larger stone than a brilliant-cut diamond of the same carat weight.
Thanks to the clarity of the material, a rose-cut diamond also takes on the colour of the jewel. Mounted on rose gold, it creates a distinct, warm glow that no other diamond reproduces. That soft, ultra-feminine quality combined with an unavoidable sense of nostalgia makes the rose the centrepiece of our creations.
