Rose Garden

Fashion Forward
by Jeff Prine, Executive Editor

The omnipresent brilliant round diamond may be the prize specimen for diamond cuts, but there’s something romantic and refreshing about the rose cut. With all the newfangled proprietary cuts that sprout up these days, rose cuts continue to be an enduring and sought after cut for more than four hundred years. Their popularity has had resurgence lately as design trends take cues from organic inspiration and also medieval times. While most familiar in diamonds, where the cut lends a flash of brilliance, rose cuts are especially fresh in colored gemstones, where the larger sizes really show off the rosebud-like faceting.
