Rose cut diamonds were made popular in the Georgian Era (the 1700s), Rose cut diamonds have remerged as an ethereal, antique-inspired alternative to more traditional diamond cuts. How to spot rose cut diamonds? Rose Cut diamonds have a domed top and a flat base and much like the sprawling petals of a fully bloomed rose, the peaked top is covered in distinctive triangle facets.
Rose cut diamonds look significantly larger than brilliant cut diamonds. Brilliant cuts, while shamelessly sparkly, hold a lot of their weight in the base of the diamond (where you can't see it). Rose cut diamonds, however, hold all of their weight on the top of the diamond, resulting in a much larger-looking stone from the top view.
