Dating from the mid 1800's through the 1900's, old mine hand cut Diamonds are most often found in Georgian and Victorian jewellery.

Primarily hand cut with the aid of early machines, they are a favorite stone for those who love stones with deeply individual character, as each stone is hand cut and uniquely beautiful.

An old mine cut Diamond evokes the past, when Diamonds were measured by eye and cut by hand, so this historic Diamond cut is a great choice if you're looking for an engagement ring with antique or vintage qualities.

Early diamond cutters (today known as bruters) shaped old mine cut Diamonds by following the octahedral shape of the diamond crystal, laboriously grinding two Diamonds together to achieve the desired shape, and a diamond polisher then polished the facets.

Due to the shape of the rough and because the Diamonds were hand crafted, dimensions varied from stone to stone.

This made every old mine cut Diamond unique, or put poetically, have its own personality.

Diamonds are truly a stone of perfection. They’re the hardest known material on the planet and have been desired throughout history for their exceptional lustre and brilliant fire that is symbolic of everlasting love and strong commitment, making them the number one choice for an engagement ring.

This vintage ring would make a stunning engagement ring with a trilogy of stones representing past, present and future or those three little words – “I love you”.
