"Unconquered One"adamas（Adamas）" is the origin of the word diamond. Its cutting techniques flourished greatly in medieval Europe. In the Xmas limited collection, we have selected four special diamonds, ranging from those conceived in the 16th century to those developed in recent years. We will unravel the history and characteristics of each cut.
TYPE01: Rose Cut | A Radiance Born Under the Light of Candles
掲載アイテム： Rosecut Diamond Combi Ring
Before the invention of electric lights, the rose-cut diamond was conceived in the early 16th century when people still spent their nights by candlelight. In Europe at that time, parties known as "soirées" were held almost every night, where nobles gathered, music played, balls were held, and they indulged in ballet, opera, and theater.
The rose-cut diamond quickly gained popularity among royalty and nobility gathering at evening parties, as it radiated a fantastical glow under the light of candles. Its modest yet elegant and subtle sparkle captivated people's hearts.
The surface of the rose cut diamond is covered with triangular facets to reflect as much light as possible. It creates a modest, understated, and shimmering brilliance that is different in character from the currently mainstream brilliant cut diamonds.
TYPE02: Emerald Cut | Rare Existence
掲載アイテム： Emeraldcut Diamond Combi Ring
Around the 16th century, during the early period of diamond cutting, the cut originally used for the inherently fragile Colombian emeralds was applied to diamonds. The emerald cut has large flat surfaces, making inclusions, scratches, and dirt more noticeable, so only high-quality diamonds are used. It is said that these account for less than 2% of all diamonds.
The point of beauty lies in the transparency and form that come from the quality of the material. Similar to rose-cut diamonds, the brilliance created by the light reflecting off the cut surfaces on the diamond, known as scintillation, produces a calm and dignified presence.
TYPE03: Round Brilliant Cut | The Standard and the Pinnacle
掲載アイテム： Diamond Combi Ring
The round brilliant cut, said to have been invented in 17th century Venice. After that, with the invention of electric lights, the world became brighter, leading to an increased demand for even stronger and more beautiful brilliance.
In the 20th century, the diamond cutter and mathematician Marcel Tolkowski used the laws of light and mathematical insights to theoretically derive the shape of a diamond that is most suitable for emitting the most beautiful and balanced brilliance and rainbow-colored dispersed light. This led to the emergence of the round brilliant cut diamond, which has 58 facets and is still widely circulated as a representative diamond cutting today.
TYPE04: Princess Cut | Evolved Brilliant

With 76 facets, the intricate mosaic pattern that extends to the corners creates a particularly strong brilliance. It is crafted into a thick shape to highlight its beautiful and strong shine.
