French Carré Diamond Cut
Carré cut, originally developed to make maximum use of the rough stone, is a square-shaped stone with 90֯ corners and a large upper facet. As with baguette or emerald cuts, its step-cut facets emphasize any flaws in the stone so only high-quality gems are suitable for this style. The French cut diamonds are square or rectangular in shape with a high crown and a crisscross pattern of triangular shaped facets. The origins of the French cut can be traced back to the 15th Century however it wasn't until much later, during the 17th Century that it really became fashionable.
Millegrain Technique
This is a difficult jewelry technique which refers to the textural effect of a close-set line of metal beads that are typically used as a border on the edges or bezels of jewelry.
