Antique Old European Cut Diamond 0.97 ct | J SI1
Why we chose this stone
Just under a carat, this Old European Cut diamond is proof that antique stones don't need to be large to carry real character. The Old European Cut was the direct predecessor to today's round brilliant, but with a smaller table, higher crown, and larger culet — details that give it a softer, more romantic glow rather than the sharp precision of modern rounds.
Hand-cut at least 80 years ago, this diamond was rescued from an antique piece of jewellery and sourced through Antwerp, a city with centuries of history at the centre of the diamond trade. Its J colour grade brings a warm, gentle tone typical of stones cut in this era, and SI1 clarity gives it good transparency with the kind of natural character that sets antique diamonds apart from flawless modern cuts.
At this size, it's a lovely option for anyone wanting an entry point into antique diamond collecting, or a meaningful accent stone with genuine history behind it.

I’ve purchased several diamonds and a range of other stones including opals, sapphires and more from Julie. The quality and price point was excellent. Her calm, relaxed approach to creating bespoke jewellery has been spot on every time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

The experience I had throughout this process was amazing. Not knowing much about this area, Julie took the time to explain everything to me in detail, which gave me a lot of comfort.I could not fault the price, the quality and experience I had with Hope Diamonds. A very very successful journey with Julie and the team :) I highly recommend Hope Diamonds.
