Old European diamonds feature a smaller table, a pronounced crown, and considerable depth, creating a distinctive look. The Old Euro served as the precursor to the modern round brilliant cut. While both share a circular shape, the Old European cut’s vintage appeal comes from its unique faceting and proportions.

OLD MINE
Dating back to the 1830s, Old Mine cut diamonds were popular through the late 19th century. Known for their distinctive charm, these diamonds typically feature an off-round shape, high crown, small table, and an open culet — giving them a soft, romantic glow that captures the elegance of a bygone era.
