Rose Cut

A rose cut is an antique diamond cutting style featuring a flat bottom and a domed top covered with triangular facets, resembling an opening rosebud.

This cut dates back to the 1500s and was popular before the development of brilliant cuts. Rose cuts typically have 3, 6, 12, or 24 facets and no pavilion, making them quite flat. They create a subtle, romantic sparkle rather than intense brilliance, and show large, soft flashes of light.

Rose cuts have experienced a resurgence in modern jewelry, particularly for vintage-inspired and bohemian designs. They're often used in cluster settings or as accent stones, prized for their unique, understated beauty and historical character.
