Rose-Cut Diamond Collection
The Beauty of Rose-Cut Diamond Rings
Rose-cut diamonds have captivated admirers for centuries with their distinctive flat-bottomed, domed-top design and facets that resemble the petals of a rose. Dating back to the 1500s, these diamonds reached their peak popularity during the Georgian and Victorian eras, and are now experiencing a renaissance as sought-after stones for unique engagement rings.
Unlike modern brilliant cuts, rose-cut diamond rings offer a subtle, elegant sparkle that showcases the diamond's natural clarity. Their unique structure allows rose diamond rings to appear larger than brilliant-cut diamonds of the same carat weight, making them both beautiful and practical for everyday wear.
Our collection features authentic antique and vintage rose-cut diamond jewelry, with many pieces that would make perfect rose-cut engagement rings or rose shaped engagement rings. From Georgian silver-topped gold settings to Victorian cluster designs, each rose-cut diamond ring in our collection represents the finest craftsmanship of its era.

What makes rose-cut diamonds different from modern cuts?
Rose-cut diamonds feature a flat bottom and a domed top with triangular facets that resemble the petals of a rose. Unlike modern brilliant cuts, they have no pavilion (the pointed bottom half), which gives them a different light performance. Rather than the intense sparkle of modern cuts, rose cuts offer a subtle, transparent glow that many find more elegant and romantic.
Are rose-cut diamond rings good for engagement rings?
Rose-cut diamond rings make excellent engagement rings, especially for those seeking a unique, vintage-inspired look. Their low profile makes them comfortable for everyday wear, and their larger face-up appearance offers visual impact. Many couples choose rose-cut engagement rings for their distinctive character and romantic history.
How can I tell if my rose-cut diamond is antique?
Antique rose-cut diamonds typically show signs of hand-cutting, including slightly irregular facets and asymmetry. The setting style, metal type, and any hallmarks can also help determine age. Georgian pieces (1714-1837) often feature closed-back settings with foil backing, while Victorian pieces (1837-1901) might show more varied designs. A professional appraiser specializing in antique jewelry can provide a definitive assessment.
How should I care for antique rose-cut diamond jewelry?
Antique rose-cut diamond jewelry requires gentle care. Clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners. Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching, and have pieces inspected periodically by a professional to check for loose settings. Pay special attention to the settings, as older settings may be more fragile than modern ones.
Can I wear rose-cut diamond rings every day?
While diamonds are extremely durable, antique settings may be more delicate. Rose-cut diamond rings with sturdy settings can be suitable for regular wear, especially since their low profile makes them comfortable and less likely to catch on things. However, very old or delicate pieces might be better reserved for special occasions. When wearing antique jewelry regularly, be mindful of activities that might put stress on the settings.
