Rose Cut
THe Rose Cut was developed in the 16th century. It has a flat bottom and domed top covered with triangular facets. The outline varies, but rose cuts are most typically round, oval, triangular or pear-shaped. In the 17th century, they gained greater acceptance and their facet arrangement became less random. Variations were always in multiples of six, such as a six-facet rose, an 18-facet rose and the full rose cut, which has a lower tier of 18 facets and upper tier of six facets coming to a point at the apex, which makes it look like a rosebud just starting to open.

Rough
Rough diamonds are also called unpolished or uncut diamonds, these are raw diamonds straight from the mines and no diamond processing done to it.
Rhodium
Rhodium is an expensive alloy commonly applied as a hard protective coating over white gold. This coating makes the white gold metal even whiter and prevents tarnish. 18 and even 14 karat white gold have a very light hint of yellow. In order to make a white gold match the white brilliance of platinum, most if not all white gold jewelry is coated with Rhodium. This rhodium coating will fade off for some period of time (normally 3 to 6 months). It is possible to replate your white gold jewelry to regain the luster of new rhodium. We at Bijan Diamonds offer a no cost lifetime polishing and replating of Rhodium of any white gold jewelry purchased from us. All you need to do is give us a call and send us the item (fully insured registered mail) normally after a year then we will replate your white gold jewelry with rhodium. Please include a $20 check for the return shipment.
