This gem weighs 1.06 carat, and wears a perfect round shape that measures 6.15 by 6.10 by 3.78 mm, its mixed brilliant cut arranged to unlock movement and life with every tilt and turn.

The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to amplify the gem soup of reflections and flashes, and the excellent polish ensures those flashes are crisp and clear, so that everyday movements become a private light show. Because it is transparent and minimally included, the stone ages gracefully, its color remaining vivid as it is not dependent on treatments that can fade or alter with exposure. When you pass your hand across its surface you will sense the quality, a solid comfort that comes from a gem that needs nothing added, no enhancements, only simple care to maintain its luminous appeal.

Consider a classic four prong solitaire that lets the mixed brilliant cut breathe and display its full drama, or a warm yellow gold halo that amplifies the red and makes the stone sing, either way the proportions of 6.15 by 6.10 by 3.78 mm are ideal for a refined, balanced setting that sits comfortably on the finger or as the center of a delicate pendant.
