Diamonds cut for candlelight 🕯 The ravishing rose-cut emerged in the 1500s and was named for its resemblance to the flower. This romantic cut—with a flat bottom, domed top, and as many as 24 facets—was developed in harmony with the shape of rough diamonds and popularized in the Georgian Era. Candlelight filled the homes and ballrooms of 18th century jewelry collectors with the perfect glow to showcase these delightful stones.
