The Cut That Made ModernBrilliant Look Ordinary.
The old mine cut is the direct ancestor of the modern round brilliant. Cut by hand, one facet at a time, before standardized measurements or mechanical precision existed. The result is a diamond with a high crown, small table, and a personality that varies from stone to stone — because no two were cut the same way.
Oldmine Cut Diamond Jewelry
Old mine cut diamonds carry warmth. Their proportions were designed to perform in incandescent and candlelight, and the slight irregularities in their faceting mean they do not return light in a predictable pattern. They appear to breathe. Gemologists, collectors, and those who simply know what they are looking at consider them among the most beautiful diamonds in existence.
We source old mine cut diamonds set in original Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, as well as occasional earlier examples. Each piece is selected for the quality of its stone, the condition of its setting, and the overall character of the piece as a whole.
