When looking for unusual jewellery pieces that feature something a little different from traditional round diamonds, you might check out briolette stones. Briolette cut diamonds have been around since the 1400s, yet the designs in which they are featured have a more quirky ambience than the likes of simpler solitaire rings. The stones themselves look a little like pear drops. Unlike most other cuts of diamonds, briolette diamonds have no crowns, pavilions and tables. They are dropper stones featuring diamond or triangle shaped facets throughout.

Due to the very nature of the cut, briolette diamonds are most frequently seen in dropper styles of diamond earrings, charm bracelets and pendants. They do not tend to found in diamond engagement rings. There are many other diamond cuts that sit more comfortably in engagement rings that often ultimately form part of matrimonial trilogies.

That is not to suggest, however, that briolette cut stones never feature in diamond rings. They do and, when they do, they dance and jangle on the finger. They work very quirkily when dropping from a highly polished and sleek band. Their multiple facets glint, shimmer and twinkle and the overall effect is cheeky, feminine, fun, playful and pretty.

From the traditional to the unusual, we are true artisans of all cuts of diamonds at Quality Diamonds. Our collections feature many classical designs expected of high calibre engagement jewellers. They also feature more unusual briolette pieces that are often not offered by a High Street jeweller.
