Old mine cut diamonds were studied and individually cut by eye and hand, following the structure of the crystal, from the 18th to late 19th century. Beloved for their unique and somewhat asymmetrical shapes, they are often described as “cut for candlelight”- referring to the diamonds’ large facets and taller pavilion + table that catch the flicker of flames and light. Old mine cut diamonds are traditionally square-shaped with a classic, sliced-bottom culet that creates a window to see through the table, like a window through the stone. Storied and rich with history, these gems carry their own narratives, offering a chance to honor the past while adding your own story.
Origins: Repurposed from antique jewelry
MOHs Hardness: 10
Care: While diamonds are the earth’s hardest gemstone, they can still break. Avoid dropping diamonds onto hard surfaces. To clean your diamond piece, soak in warm, soapy water and remove any dirt with a toothbrush or the like. It is safe to clean with an ultrasonic and steam cleaner.
