The 19th century brought about techniques that advanced the diamond cutting industry and thus, the old European cut diamond was born. With 58 facets, a small table, high crown angle, circular shape, and open culet, the old European cut diamond became the precursor to the modern round diamonds that we see today. Our vintage old European cut diamonds, cut primarily in the 1920s and 1930s, are used in many of our designs, from larger center stones to small, pave set diamonds.
If the 4 Cs of Diamond Quality are Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight, then antique diamonds offer a 5th C: Character. With a unique play of light due to their hand-cut nature, each antique diamond is truly one-of-a-kind. The appeal of these rare diamonds lies in their broad facet patterns, their unique silhouettes, and their ability to dazzle in low and modern lighting conditions. Unlike their modern counterparts, which are cut with modern machinery and to exacting specifications, there are only a finite number of antique diamonds available, making them scarce and highly sought after. Repurposing antique diamonds also reduces environmental impact, which is something we feel very strongly about.
Because you're an original and your jewelry should be, too.
At Single Stone, you don’t need to create a custom bespoke design to have a unique piece of jewelry. Individually crafted with unique vintage and mindfully-sourced stones, no two pieces are alike.
Our jewelry is often inspired by the antique diamonds they are designed around. Featuring characteristics reminiscent of the Art Deco, Edwardian and Victorian eras, there's something for every vintage jewelry lover.
