Origins (≈ 1520 CE)
First appeared in the diamond‑cutters’ guilds of Bruges and Antwerp. Inspired by the tightly spiralled petals of a budding rose.
Golden Age (Georgian & Victorian Eras)
Favoured by European royalty; low‑profile gems ideal for candle‑lit courts where a soft glow was preferred over a sharp scintillation.
21st Century Revival
Re‑embraced by modern maisons and independent ateliers (including 64Facets) for its antique romance, larger face‑up look, and understated luxury appeal.
