The earliest diamonds were found in India in 4th century BC, although the youngest of these deposits were formed 900 million years ago. A majority of these early stones were transported along the network of trade routes that connected India and China, commonly known as the Silk Road.

With anywhere from 3 to 24 facets, a Rose Cut Diamond resembles the shape of a rose bud. In general, they are flat at the bottom and creating a larger surface area for the stone's brilliance. One of the most striking characteristics of a Rose Cut Diamond is its flat base.

You cannot look at rose cut diamond jewelry factually with a recut formula in mind, its value is object driven. Rose cuts are a greater challenge in estimating weight once they have been mounted (especially if they are closed back). These rose cut diamonds are hand cut, which makes them so special. 

These hand-made earrings are made in the manner of antique jewelry.  White gold was not invented so silver was used to set off the gemstones. This piece is made in a similar way to those antique pieces.

Cleaning:  Do not immerse in liquid.   To clean gently wipe with soft damp cloth (not saturated) with water only. Pat dry immediately with soft dry cloth.
