In the 15th and 16th century new techniques made it possible to sharpen and facet diamonds, making creative cuts such as the briolette cut and rose cut. Diamonds could be taken directly from India with ships through the new trade route via the North Sea. The range of diamonds has increased and cities such as Antwerp, Bruges and Paris are becoming major cutting centers.
 
This pendant is a gorgeous sparkly piece to add to an antique jewelry collection and would make an absolutely lovely gift. It's a marvelous piece of history that you can wear or to gift.
