  • Catalogue Essay

    Among the rarest cutting styles found in coloured diamonds is round brilliant-cut. This is one of the most celebrated cutting styles for colourless diamonds on engagement rings, but it is a highly uncommon choice for coloured diamonds. This is because coloured diamond roughs are extremely valuable, and it is crucial to maximize weigh yield and to intensify its colour. These are the factors that stonecutters prioritize when deciding on how a rough should be fashioned. Round brilliant-cut usually results in high wastage of raw materials in the cutting process, and it is not the most efficient in enhancing colour.

    This pair of elegant ear pendants is mounted with not just one, but two round brilliant-cut Fancy Intense Yellow diamonds. A single round brilliant-cut Fancy Intense Yellow diamond close to 10 carats is an extraordinary find, to gather two of such rare materials in matching colour grade, clarity, size, face-up brilliance, and fire is yet another epitome of rarity.
