Heart Shaped Diamond Necklace

The form which a diamond is cut has great influence on its beauty and fire.

The two most common cuts are called the "brilliant," and the rose" or "rosette." The latter, so named from its similarity to an unopened rosebud, was one of the earliest forms ever used in cutting diamonds. It's applied generally to the cheaper kinds of stones. It is a sort of pyramid, with a flat base, and inclined facets, terminating upwards in a pointed apex. The flat base is embedded in the setting ; and, therefore, in the rose diamond, the whole of the stone appears to project above the setting.

The brilliant cut is the more valuable form of the two... it looks as if it's formed of two pyramids, connected together at their bases, with the top of each cut off, and the sides worked into facets, as in the case of the rose cut. The stone is held in the setting at the broadest part, or junction of the pyramids ; one pyramid projects upwards in sight, the other is hidden below the setting, so that only half the stone, or somewhat less, appears ; but the hidden part is most powerfully effective in adding to the brilliancy.
