An old cut diamond, also known as a vintage cut or antique cut diamond, is a type of diamond cut that was used before the modern brilliant cut was developed in the early 20th century. Old cut diamonds have a unique charm and character that sets them apart from modern cuts. They were cut by hand, which means they have irregular shapes and proportions, with larger culets (the bottom point of the diamond) and smaller tables (the flat top of the diamond). Old cut diamonds typically have fewer facets than modern diamonds, and their faceting pattern is designed to maximize the diamond's color and fire, rather than its brilliance. Old cut diamonds have a soft and romantic appearance that appeals to those who value history and tradition, and they are often used in vintage-inspired engagement rings and other fine jewelry.
We offer both antique and "new" old cut diamonds.
