CUTS

The cut of a gemstone refers to its shape.


You may be familiar with more conventional cuts - round, oval, princess cut - but thats not what we're about!


We like to be different. Different design, different cuts. 


We prefer the beauty of cuts that are geometrical, difficult to find, and harder to produce. Scroll down to learn more about each one we use.


The rings in our Face collection are made up of three sections:


EYES, TEETH, NOSE

FACIAL FEATURES

This cut originates from 18th-century France, when King Louis XV commissioned diamonds to be cut in the shape of his mistress' lips. Jeanne Antoinette Poissons was commonly referred to as 'Marquise de Pompadour', hence the creation of these elongated cuts with pointed ends. Although inspired by the lips of royalty, we prefer to use them as eyes!


Accurately and proportionally developing the modern trillion-cut  (triangular) diamonds took centuries of iteration. Originally a technical nightmare for gemstone cutters, the technique was first proposed in the 18th century, and was finally mastered in the 1960s. We custom-cut each pointy, sharp trillion to form the perfect set of teeth. 



Emerald cut: Emerald cuts date back to the 1500s. By clipping off the fragile corners of emeralds, this cut was made as a preventative measure to minimise damage. This style solidified its place as one of the most iconic during the 1920s for its clean symmetry and geometrical appearance. 


Radiant Cut: In 1977, innovation to the emerald cut created the radiant cut. Applying brilliant-cut faceting (like that on a round diamond) to a rectangular, stepped-cut shape (like an emerald cut) created an unparalleled sparkle/brilliance. These display a unique 'broken mirror' effect: a beautiful blend of chaos and geometry. 


DIAMONDS

You might be familiar with diamonds but, if you're not, just know that it ultimately boils down to colour and clarity.  These two factors crucially determine the quality, hence the value, of your diamonds. 


COLOUR

All our diamonds are in the highest bracket of the highest bracket (D, E, F). Pure colourless white diamonds are a D on the colour scale (True White).


CLARITY

Our minimum is most people's maximum. Our diamonds range from VVS2 (at a minimum) through to Flawless. This means that even under a microscope, all our diamonds are perfect.

SIZES

No two Faces are the same, that's true of life and of our rings. Unlike the one on your skull however, this one you can choose!


We leave the facial features (EYES, NOSE, TEETH) up to you, as well as your Frame (the colour and thickness of your metal).


The size of your band - the thickness of your ring - is personal preference. Some prefer a more streamlined 3mm, others opt for a show-stopping 5mm band.


Depending on the size of your band, the gemstone sizes will slightly differ, along with total metal weight. We really mean it when we say no two are the same. All rings are bespoke and made to order, hence all have slightly different measurements whilst maintaining the same aesthetic.


For specific sizings, please enquire.
