What is a Rustic Diamond?
Rustic refers to any diamond of a highly included nature that would have previously been considered unsuitable for traditional jewellery but through its flaws actually has its own unique attractiveness.
Through the development of social media and in particular, Instagram, the ability to introduce different and unique products has allowed the rustic style diamonds to develop a strong place in the jewellery market.
Salt and Pepper Diamonds
The most recognised rustic diamond variety is the Salt and Pepper diamond which generally has a clear to slightly opaque white base and heavily included with black inclusions to give a visible salt and pepper pattern. Once discarded as unsaleable, salt and pepper diamonds are now very popular for designer jewellery and engagement rings.
Salt and Pepper Diamond Engagement Rings
If you are looking to escape the expectations of a traditional engagement ring, rustic diamonds can often provide you that unique difference that you desire. Affordable and intriguing a rustic and salt and pepper diamond engagement ring can really stand out from the classic options chosen for most proposals that will match the individuality of your partner.
Rose cut rustic diamonds
One of the most notable flaws utilised in Rose cut rustic diamonds in both salt and pepper and fancy colours is cloudiness. Rustic diamonds often have very low
transparency and rely on the reflections from the facets to create their sparkle. A rose cut diamond is basically an inverted style of the standard cut diamond with a flattened base and a highly dome shaped table with multiple facets to create a disco ball style sparkle.
Rose cut diamonds also work very well in larger sizes which are quite possible because of the affordable nature of rustic style diamonds
Raw Rough Diamonds for jewellery
Raw diamonds are uncut or rough diamonds usually ones that are unable to be cut into a faceted gem but hold a certain attractiveness in their natural raw form to make unique, inexpensive and fashionable diamond jewellery. Often raw diamonds are more opaque off-white or fancy coloured tones to create their attractiveness. Raw diamonds can be displayed as complete bi-pyramidal crystal, partial crystal, oddly formed crystal, macle or cubes that can be claw set as well drilled to make earrings and necklaces.
