What Are Antique Cut Diamonds?
Antique cut diamonds are diamonds shaped using traditional cutting techniques that predate modern methods. These cuts prioritize maximizing the diamond’s natural beauty rather than focusing solely on brilliance.
Popular Antique Diamond Cuts:
- Old Mine Cut: Often referred to as the predecessor of the modern round brilliant cut, it features a slightly squarish shape and a high crown.
- Old European Cut: Known for its round shape and larger facets, ideal for reflecting candlelight.
- Rose Cut: A timeless classic with a domed top and flat bottom, resembling the petals of a rose.
- Portrait Cut: Thin and flat, designed for showcasing clarity and creating a unique aesthetic.
Each antique cut carries its own history and charm, making it a distinctive choice for engagement rings and other jewelry.
