With their glamorous but versatile style, rose cut engagement rings date back hundreds of years. Unlike brilliant-cut diamonds with multiple facets to maximise sparkle, rose cut diamonds have a flat base and a domed top. This cut takes its name from its shape, which resembles a rose. As they have a flat base, these stones can be used in various ring designs, with shapes ranging from oval to pear, round, and others. While they work well with diamonds, any stone can be used for rose cut rings.
Whether you prefer modern styles or classic designs, this cut is an elegant choice that focuses on shine rather than sparkle. To give you inspiration for your custom ring design, we’ve put together some examples that show you what makes this engagement ring worth considering.
