***The “ROSE-CUT” DIAMOND has beautiful hand-cut facets that resemble the petals of a flowering ROSE bud, hence the name. 

   This type of Hand-Cut Rose Diamond actually dates back to popular use starting from the early 1500's Renaissance up to the early 1900's, making it one of the oldest diamond shapes enjoyed. 

TODAY, the Rose Diamond has become a Super-Popular Diamond Choice once again.
