When it comes to jewelry, the shapes of gemstones play a crucial role in defining their elegance and allure. Three classic cuts – the emerald cut, diamond cut, and drop shape – have long been revered for their unique beauty and craftsmanship.

But did you know these iconic cuts also inspire the stunning designs of our Gem Rugs at Wear The House? Let's explore the origins of these cuts and how they translate into luxurious floor art.

The Emerald Cut: Timeless Sophistication

The emerald cut, known for its rectangular shape and step-cut facets, dates back to the 16th century. Originally used for emeralds, this cut was designed to enhance the clarity and reduce the pressure on the stone during the cutting process. Its long, clean lines create a mirror-like effect, emphasizing the stone’s clarity and depth.

In our Emerald Cut Gem Rugs, this iconic shape is reimagined with bold colors and textures, bringing a sense of timeless sophistication to your interiors.

The Diamond Cut: Sparkling Brilliance

The diamond cut, with its numerous facets and brilliant sparkle, is the most popular gemstone shape, perfected in the 20th century. Its multi-faceted design maximizes the stone’s light reflection, creating a dazzling effect.

At Wear The House, we’ve captured this brilliance in our Diamond Cut Gem Rugs, where the intricate patterns and vibrant hues mimic the dazzling sparkle of a finely cut diamond, adding a touch of luxury to any space.

The Drop Shape: Elegant Fluidity

The drop shape, often associated with teardrop-shaped jewelry, is celebrated for its graceful curves and fluidity. This shape has roots in the 18th century and was favored for pendants and earrings, symbolizing elegance and femininity.

Our Drop Gem Rugs are inspired by this elegant form, offering a soft, flowing design that adds a touch of serenity and movement to your room, making them perfect for creating a calming yet sophisticated atmosphere.

The Heart-Shaped Cut

Although the exact origins of the Heart Shape Cut can't be pinpointed, 'heart shape diamonds' are known to have been around as long ago as the 15th and 16th Centuries. However, in historical terms, 'heart shaped' might refer to any diamond that is triangular or pear-shaped with rounded corners.

The iconic sweet Heart Cut Gem Rug is the perfect way to add some sparkle to your floor.
