What constitutes good cuts of ROSE CUT DIAMONDS?
Good Rose Cut Diamonds are effected by several different elements which have a large impact on a diamond’s brilliance. These include the Width and Depth of the stone, the Symmetry and the alignment of a diamond’s facets and the polish. Diamond Clarity is a measure of a diamond’s blemishes and inclusions which also effect the brilliance of diamonds and their sparkle because they interfere with the passage of light travelling through the precious stone. The skill of the jeweller will ensure that Rose cut diamonds have a suitable cut to give the most beautiful results in respect of their lustre, transparency, refraction and dispersion of light.
