Renowned for their distinctive cushion shape, small table, and high crown, Old Mine Cut diamonds and gemstones were faceted before modern technology, giving each stone an individual character and a soft, romantic glow that has captivated jewelry lovers for centuries.
The Old Mine Cut originated in the 18th century and remained popular through the Georgian, Victorian, and early Edwardian periods. Often referred to as "candlelight diamonds" due to their exceptional sparkle in lower lighting, these stones have a fascinating history and were meticulously cut by hand, creating the larger facets and distinctive shapes that make them highly coveted today.
