Old European Cuts
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.
