OLD MINE CUT ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Old mine cut engagement rings are characterized by their individuality. These antique diamonds showcase a squarish shape with soft, curved edges, reminiscent of cushion cut diamonds. Their unique charm lies in their differences compared to modern day cuts, old mine cut diamonds have a smaller table, a high crown, larger facets and open culet, forming a captivating glittering speck at the center of the stone. This vintage stone is sure to be adored by everyone.

The Versatility of Old Mine CUT Diamonds in Jewelry Design

Akin to a cushion cut diamond, old mine cut diamonds with their pillow-like appearance and gentle contour are easily integrated into various jewelry designs, such as being set as part of a larger diamond cluster, made into earrings, or enhanced by side stones for a glimmering one of a kind ring. An heirloom in the making, this antique gem can be the focal point of any vintage inspired engagement ring, passing down both tradition and elegance.
