Antique Old Mine Brilliant Cut Diamond 1.32 ct | H VS2
Why we chose this stone
At 1.32 carats, this Old Mine Brilliant sits at a versatile, easy-to-wear size — small enough for everyday pieces, substantial enough to hold its own as a centrepiece. What sets it apart is the combination of grades: H colour is comfortably within the near-colourless range, and paired with VS2 clarity, it gives this antique cut a brightness that some older stones simply don't have.
Hand-cut at least 80 years ago, this diamond carries all the hallmarks of genuine Old Mine craftsmanship — a cushion-shaped outline, high crown, and open culet, faceted by eye rather than machine. It was rescued from an antique piece of jewellery and sourced through Antwerp, the city that has anchored the global diamond trade for generations.
For collectors after an antique stone with cleaner, brighter grading than typically associated with cuts of this age, this is a rare find — history and clarity in the same stone.

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.
