How are they being shaped? Why choose them above all else? The answer is pretty simple. What are rustic diamonds? Just as the name suggests, rustic diamonds are original, natural, and untouched. Each stone looks utterly unique and different in its own, mesmerizing way. Diamonds are known for being the purest form of carbon molecules with no substitutes. Formed deep under the ground's surface level, these stones come in contact with an array of minerals. As a result, diamonds are often blended with so-called "impurities" due to the natural formation process. In reality, only 20% of diamonds are cut into elegant stones and surprisingly, the remaining 80% is deemed as "high inclusive" due to its natural formation, thus, it cannot create an elegant, polished diamond. Does that mean that rustic diamonds aren't worth it? Absolutely not. Why are rustic diamonds so popular? Rustic diamond jewelry is considered even more unique and beautiful after they've been cut and polished. More and more women are turning to rustic cut diamonds in order to have a natural diamond engagement ring that is absolutely one-of-a-kind. The colors and clarity differ a lot from one style to another, making it the perfect option for everyone who wishes to stand out. In fact, rose cuts date back to the 16th century, which makes them popular long before the traditional, classic round shape.
