Antique Old Mine Cut Diamond 0.96 ct | H SI2
Why we chose this stone
Sitting just under a carat, this Old Mine Cut diamond packs genuine antique character into a compact, versatile size. Predating the modern round brilliant by well over a century, the Old Mine Cut is easy to spot by its cushion-like outline, high crown, and chunky, irregular facets — all cut by hand, without the symmetry standards that define diamond cutting today.
Guaranteed at least 80 years old, this stone was rescued from an antique setting and sourced through Antwerp, one of the world's oldest and most storied diamond trading centres. Its H colour grade keeps it comfortably within the near-colourless range, while SI2 clarity gives it the kind of visible natural character collectors often look for in genuine antique stones — a mark of authenticity rather than a flaw to be hidden.
A practical size with real provenance behind it, this is a diamond suited to someone building a considered collection rather than chasing size alone.

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.
