Why: Kyle Anne's elegant rose-cut stones bring a novel dimension to her beautifully crafted contemporary jewels. Rose cuts have a flat bottom and a faceting pattern that typically bring them to a point high above the setting...a refreshing change from traditional brilliant cuts and perfect for gems that have more character. Kyle Anne has an affinity for unusual gem materials too...pink, golden, grey and black Diamonds, deep teal blue Indicolite Tourmalines and smoldering fire orange Sapphires. She uses only conflict-free gems and eco-friendly 14K and 18K yellow, rose and white gold (yay!).
And yes, her rings make fabulous stackables!  :)
