About
The Cushion Cut resembles the Old Mine Cut with its depth and large facets, and was fashionable in the late 19th and early 20th century. Cushion Cut gemstones are often called candlelight gemstones, referring to cuts designed prior to the advent of electricity. They represent a quintessentially romantic style. This Cushion Cut sapphire is a thing of antiquity and beauty.
The Rose Cut diamond dates back to the 16th century, and features a crown composed of triangular facets that rise to form a point "� much like a rose bud. Rose Cut diamonds were highly fashionable through the 18th century, and they’re gaining popularity again due to their distinctive antique look. The cut does not exhibit the maximum fire and brilliance of a Standard Round Brilliant diamond, but they have an old-fashioned charm that is quite appealing in the right setting. A Rose Cut diamond is a rare treasure.
Gold comes from the pure element Aurum and is caught up in stone deep below the surface of the earth. Ore deposits are formed through the imperceptible, aeonian shifting of the tectonic plates which, over millennia, are brought close enough to the surface for extraction. This process is elaborate and takes time, which means refined gold will always be highly valued, even more so when turned into intentional objects of beauty by the hands of skilled artisans.
