Rose Cut Gemstones
With the rose cut gaining popularity, this article looks at the possible ways of incorporating the unusual cut into your bespoke design.
The rose cut has had a resurgence of late and is being widely used across all types of jewellery. The rose cut method involves cutting the gemstones so that the base of the stone is wide, flat and un-faceted while the top of the stone is domed and covered with triangular facets. The cut, which literally resembles an opening rose-bud, lends itself to organic and nature inspired designs in particular due to its natural feel. The way the facets meet at a point in the centre of the stone also makes the rose cut a lovely choice for a geometric inspired design.
