Rose Cut Engagement Rings

A rose cut diamond engagement ring centers an antique-inspired diamond that sparkles a little differently than a brilliant or step-cut diamond. Rather than flash, a rose cut diamond exhibits a soft, lustrous glow. A rose cut engagement ring is perfect for the bride who loves a vintage look with a unique twist. Rose cut diamond engagement rings are available in a variety of different styles and can lean into an antique look or appear more modern, depending on the style you are looking for.

The flat bottom and triangular facets of rose cut diamonds make them slightly more transparent than the brilliant diamond. This causes a rose cut diamond engagement ring to reflect light differently. Rather than scintillate with a bright sparkle, the rose cut diamond ring showcases a subtle luster by design. Rose cut diamonds were first introduced before the invention of electricity! The rose cut diamond ring was designed to look best in candlelight by dispersing and reflecting low, flickering flames. Melanie loves adding brilliant diamonds to a rose cut engagement ring, so you get the best of both kinds of sparkle.

Because the focal stone of a rose cut diamond engagement ring has a flat bottom and a rounded top, it’s more suited to sit lower on your finger than a brilliant cut diamond with a pointed pavilion. Many rose cut diamond rings sit lower on, and sometimes almost flush with, your finger. Because of this, low-profile rose cut diamond engagement rings are seen as more durable than engagement rings that sit in higher settings. Low-profile rose cut diamond rings are less exposed, won’t snag as often on sleeves and gloves, and generally get in the way a little less.

A rose cut diamond ring can appear more modern by intentionally choosing a rose cut engagement ring with contemporary details. A bezel setting is one of the most popular engagement ring trends and adds a modern twist to any engagement ring. A solitaire rose cut engagement ring like the Edifice Ring makes a singular statement, while the Bezel Snowdrift Ring adds a flurry of accent diamonds to this modern setting. A bold band will make rose cut diamond rings look even more modern, and the Ascent Ring combines a wide, tapered band with bold side stones and a bezel setting for a striking, contemporary look.

While round is the most common shape for a rose cut diamond, it’s by no means the only shape available! Rose cut diamonds appear in many shapes, from oval to pear to marquise. Round rose cut diamonds are the most popular for rose cut diamond rings and are therefore the easiest to source. While most of our rose cut diamond engagement rings feature round rose cuts, Melanie sometimes sources a different shape to set into a one of a kind rose cut diamond ring.
