Comments : A beautifully water clear Rose de France Amethyst. This material is very bright and clean and cuts a stunning gemstone. The design is one of my own and is based on the traditional "princess" cut and has trimmed corners to enable easier setting. This is a good size for a pendant. The colour is quite soft even for Rose de France.

Comments : This is a lovely little rose de france gemstone. The colour is quite pale in this stone, even for rose de france. It is however a nice bright and flashy stone and the design is a very pleasing brilliant cushion. I have smoothed, rounded and polished the girdle rather then leaving it faceted. Quite a fine gemstone.

Rose de France Amethyst, Acorn, #18

Stone : Rose de France Amethyst
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2008
Item : #18
Design : Acorn (Doug Menadue)
Origin : Brazil
Treatments : None
Weight : 20.71 carats
Clarity : Very Slightly Included
Size : 16mm X 14.5mm
Price : SOLD

Comments : This large stone is a pale variety of amethyst called "Rose De France" and has a soft, beautiful colour. It is suitable for any jewelry setting but due to its size I'd say it was more of a collectors stone. However, I think it would make a very interesting pendant if it was set in some sort of "bird cage". There is a very small feather veil inclusion near the crown. This stone has a beautiful, watery transparency which is common to this pale type of amethyst. The gem is very brilliant and is like an amazing swirl of light.
