ANTIQUE OVALS, MARQUISE & PEAR SHAPES
Antique oval, marquise, and pear-shaped diamonds are not too dissimilar to their modern counterparts, but what makes them unique is their broad facet patterns and open culets. Additionally, antique pear shape diamonds and marquise (or movals) have a softness to their shape where the diamond does not come to a perfect point – a direct result of the hand-cutting techniques of the 19th century.
