Sensational Bracelet set in center with Natural, oval and cushion shaped Rubies weighing 8.03 and 12.97 carats of Burmese origin. These two are separated by bullet shaped Diamonds and surrounded by baguette and round Diamonds. Its flexible strap is composed of alternating baguette and round Diamonds set in a zig-zag pattern. The strap has circular clasp set with buff-top calibré-cut Rubies at the end together weighing approximately 20 carats. The whole arrangement is mounted in a Platinum frame. This bracelet was auctioned for $1.5 million a while back.
We all know about the Round Diamonds, but do we know about the Bullet cut and the Baguette diamonds?
| Bullet Diamonds: The name comes from the shape of a bullet. Their 3 sides have straight lines forming a part of a square with the fourth side pointy with a sharp edge. Certain versions could have cut corners on the 3 lines like an emerald cut. |

| Baguette diamonds: The baguette cut is named due to its long, rectangular shape after the French word baguette. The baguette cut shape is a step cut diamond that is similar to other square to rectangular shaped step cuts, such as the emerald cut. The baguette cut shape normally comes in small weights, less than one carat. Due to its smaller size, it tends to be measured by its dimensional size, rather than its carat weight. The length to width ratio of this accent stone is ideally 1.5 to 1. As a step cut stone the baguette cut shape usually has only 14 facets, fewer than the number of facets used for the emerald cut. |
