Italian term or phrase: punto luce
certain kind of cut for diamond I presume, the context is just marketing waffle. Can find pictures (lovely!) but no pointers as to the English. Any help much appreciated. Thanks SUE

stud diamond pendant/earrings
Explanation:
Hi Sue
I know a thing or two about jewelry ;-)

A punto luce is a small diamond pendant - I hear the term is also being used to describe diamond earrings

I think I'd call it a stud diamond pendant - not as poetic as punto luce but what can you do ;-)

(small) solitaire


Explanation:
Hi Sue,
I'm not sure, but it seems to be a small solitaire, generally with the setting visible around it to give it a little size.
We bought a "punto luce" on a necklace for my daughter for confirmation and that's what it looks like.
Hope this at least gets you on the right track!
Catherine
