A DIAMOND SINGLE-STONE RING

The Peruzzi-cut diamond originates from the late 17th century. It is named after its creator Vincent Peruzzi, a Venetian polisher who increased the number of facets cut in the crown of the stone from 17 to 33. Most diamonds from this period tend to be rose-cut, consisting of a much lower number of triangular facets arranged in a symmetrical radiating pattern, and with the bottom of the stone left flat. Thus, the Peruzzi-cut was revolutionary in its time. Today it can be considered as the ancestor of the modern brilliant cut diamond which has 58 facets.
