WHAT ARE ROSE CUT GEMSTONES:
Characteristically, the rose-cut diamond has a rounded outline with multiple triangular facets, arranged on a flat base in rows, one on top of the other to ultimately meet at a sharp point. The term “rose-cut” is derived from the aesthetic of the triangular facets resembling the petals of a rose unfurling. As there is a flat base, there are not pavilion facets. This is where the difference between the rose cut and other cuts comes in. While most modern cuts are devised to enhance the brilliance and fire of a gemstone, the rose cut reflects light softly, giving it a distinct warm sparkle.
Interestingly, rose cuts are still cut by hand, just like they were in the 16th century, making each stone unique.
HISTORY OF ROSE-CUT GEMSTONES:
The rose cut was pioneered on diamonds and the cut was engineered primarily to salvage the maximum from irregularly shaped rough imported from India. The first triangular cut facet was introduced in Antwerp and perhaps this is why the rose cut is still popularly called the Antwerp cut or the Dutch rose cut. Extremely popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, the rose-cut diamond was the gemstone of choice for royalty. However, as time moved on, the rose cut was termed as dated and lost its popularity.
ROSE CUT SAPPHIRES TODAY:
In recent years there has been a surge in the popularity of antique cut gemstones and the rose cut gemstone, has been heralded as the harbinger of vintage cuts. What is today called the “rose cut renaissance” began in 2012, with Justin Theroux’s proposal to Jennifer Anniston with an impressive 8ct rose cut diamond solitaire ring? Montana rose cut sapphires today in 2020 are also quite popular, the reason for the rose cut Montana Sapphire’s popularity is the patriotism towards “Made in America” in Americans.
Today, the rose cut sapphire enjoy immense popularity as an engagement ring and that is primarily due to 3 reasons:
- Price: Rose-cut sapphires cost almost one-third the price of a diamond of the same size, shape, and volume. This is essential because rose-cut sapphires are made from flat rough, to enhance their brilliance and fire, which if cut in any other way would not have the same properties. Small round rose-cut sapphires can begin at 20$ a carat. Thus if a wholesale jeweler invests in a batch of small 3mm rose cut sapphire stones of 50 points, each stone would cost him only 10$.
- Weight: Rose-cut stones are usually available in pastel colors as deeper cuts are required to make a stone appear darker. However since rose-cut stones are usually made from flat rough, a shallow cut preserves the size and weight of the stone. Their unique shape, without any pavilion facets, means that the rose-cut sapphire retains all its weight on the petal-like facet on the dome, giving them a larger surface area than a brilliant-cut diamond.
- Color: Therefore pastel-colored rose cut sapphires like pastel blue rose cut sapphire or light pink rose cut sapphire is a good investment for wholesale jewelers as they are very popular right now. Since sapphires are available in a rainbow range of colors, picking a uniquely colored rose-cut sapphire is just easy!
The point to be noted here is that the demand for large engagement rings today has gone down and millennials today prefer to invest in smaller stones like rose-cut sapphires for engagement rings or their significant others. This has definitely increased the demand for vintage cuts like the rose cuts, which not only maintain the value and aesthetic of the gemstone but also decrease the price significantly.

While many classify peach sapphires under pink sapphires on account of their pinkish-peach hues, it is notable that peach sapphires, that is, the Padparadscha sapphire is one of the most valuable gemstones in the world.

– PRICE:
One of the most alluring points about rose-cut sapphires is their price point. The range starts at 20 dollars a carat and goes up to 200 dollars a carat for rarer stones like the Padparadscha sapphires.
Let’s consider the following math:
Typically if a sapphire weighs around 50 points, which equals half a carat, with the price of a carat being 100$, the cost of one stone would be 50$. After the addition of other stones and conversion into a full-fledged engagement ring, the jeweler can sell it up to 500 to 600$, which under the 1000$ tag is an extremely lucrative price for young couples, looking to keep it small, elegant, and affordable.
Also, buying a rose-cut sapphire of the same size as a diamond or a more expensive stone, BUT of lesser carats, definitely cuts down the price of investment by the jeweler and the customer by one-third, while not compromising on the esthetics! A win-win for both!
