  • Brilliant Cut - In their naturally occuring state diamonds have little life or sparkle and for many centuries were simply cut in half and worn in amulets. Invented at the end of the 17th century by a Venetian diamond cutter, a "brilliant cut" diamond has 58 facets arranged in a regular geometric relationship, with 33 above the crown and 25 below on the pavilion.

    The introduction of the brilliant cut increased the popularity of diamonds in jewellery as it was the first cut to reveal the fire of the diamond, with the light being internally reflected from one facet to another, and was superior to the previously used table cut and rose cut.Variants to the brilliant cut have emerged since the end of the 17th century, but the popularity of the original brilliant cut has continued to the present time, where it is still the most commonly found cut.

  • Fleur-De-Lis - The fleur-de-lis is a stylized lily or iris flower with

    three petals that has been used as a decorative motif for thousands of years. It

    often appears in Christian iconography symbolising the Holy Trinity and as an

    emblem that reflects the purity of the Virgin Mary. In decorative art and antiques

    decoration, the fleur-de-lis is often used as a symbol of elegance, refinement,

    and good taste.



    The fleur-de-lis has a rich history and in ancient times, it

    was associated with royalty, purity, and the divine, and it was used as a

    symbol of the French monarchy for many centuries.



    It is a common design element in ceramics, silverware, jewellery,

    furniture, and other decorative objects, and it can be found in many different

    styles and forms.

  • Pave Setting - Pave setting is a style of setting stones in jewellery where the small stones are placed close together in holes drilled in the metal, the burr of the metal around the stone being pressed over the edges to hold the stone in position.
