Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- Cut with a series of triangular facets, the whole surface rounding up from the girdle. The number of triangular faces on the upper side of the girdle is usually twenty-four. The back is usually flat—that is, the girdle is at one extreme of the stone, having no base projecting beyond it. In some cases, however, there is a base resembling a crown; then the cut is called the double or Holland rose.
Wiktionary
- adj. Cut flat on the reverse, and with a convex face formed of triangular facets in rows; said of diamonds and other precious stones.
