Briolette Cut

A briolette cut diamond is a unique, teardrop-shaped gemstone with a distinctive cutting style that sets it apart from other cuts.

The briolette cut dates back to the 17th century, and was first cut by a Flemish diamantaire. The style gained popularity when Napoleon gifted a briolette necklace to Empress Marie Louise, and went on to be a favourite among nobility and royalty during this period.
