The cut that was designed for candlelight.
The rose cut predates the brilliant cut by several centuries. Flat on the base, domed on the crown, faceted across the surface to spread light outward rather than returning it in a single point. It was the dominant diamond cut from the 16th century through the early 20th. Then it was largely abandoned.
Now it is one of the most sought-after cuts in the world of antique jewelry.
A rosecut diamond does not perform in the same way as a brilliant cut. It does not flash. It glows. The light it returns is warmer, softer, and more complex — and it behaves differently depending on the setting, the light, and the angle. Collectors who wear rose-cut jewelry will tell you they stop getting asked ‘where is that from’ because nobody else is wearing anything like it.
We source rosecut diamonds in all sizes, set in Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian jewelry. Many are still in their original settings.
