The Elegance of a Portrait Cut Diamond and Sapphire

The Elegance of a Portrait Cut Diamond and Sapphire

The "Portrait Cut" is a type of diamond cutting technique that has been used for centuries. This ancient cut originated in the Middle Ages and was used by jewelers to enhance the beauty of natural gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds.

This early ancient cut was made with a tool which had two sets of angled facets, one set on the top and one set on the bottom. This type of cut allowed light to enter from both sides and create a beautiful sparkle.

The portrait cut is gaining popularity again with modern gemstone settings due to its classic style and elegance.

The cut brings out the beauty of a diamond or gemstone with its unique flat plane style. It also creates a softer, more romantic feel that can complement any setting or engagement ring.

This type of diamond cut allows for more light to enter the gemstone through a flat plane top, making it sparkle like no other. It also has a timeless look, perfect for any piece of jewelry, from a classic Tiffany setting to a more modern design.

The combination of traditional cutting techniques with modern technology provides an edge in quality which cannot be matched.

"We like the timeless elegance a portrait cut gives our diamonds, sapphires and rubies. With the added sparkle, it brings a unique beauty and a classic romantic feel to any piece of jewelry that's sure to be admired for years to come." says Emily Gill.

 

 

The Portrait Cut is versatile, allowing for different shapes and sizes of diamond or gemstone to be crafted into stunning pieces of jewelry. Whether you’re looking for an engagement ring or other type of jewelry setting, the portrait cut can provide the perfect option.
