Rough Cut Diamond Engagement Ring
A rough diamond is just what it sounds like, a natural diamond that has yet to be shaped into a cut diamond. It isn’t a brilliantly cut stone, but rather it comes straight out of the ground as Mother Nature made it. It has natural imperfections, an organic shape, and it’s matte to the touch, making each and every stone unique.
Rough Cut Diamond Rings diamonds make an angelic statement as you prepare to embark on the greatest step in your life--creating new memories with someone special. That makes Rough Cut Diamond Rings diamonds perfect companions when shopping for bridal jewelry.
Why choose a raw diamond Ring?
- No two are alike. Because the stone is untouched, its shape, color, and texture are completely unique to your ring.
- A different kind of beauty. Rough diamonds have a soft, natural glow rather than the sharp brilliance of a cut diamond — a look many people find more personal and less "off the shelf."
- Still a real diamond. Rough diamonds are just as hard and durable as cut diamonds — they're simply left in their natural form.
