Antique Old Mine Cushion Diamond 0.53 ct | G VS1
Why we chose this stone
Small stones can still carry big history, and this 0.53 carat Old Mine Cushion diamond is proof of that. Its soft, rounded-cornered cushion outline is the hallmark of the Old Mine Cut — a style that dominated diamond jewellery long before the modern round brilliant existed, prized for its warm, candlelit glow rather than the sharp fire of contemporary cuts.
Hand-cut at least 80 years ago, this diamond was rescued from an antique piece of jewellery and sourced through Antwerp, a city whose diamond trade history spans centuries. Its G colour grade is genuinely impressive for a stone of this age — sitting near the top of the near-colourless range — and paired with VS1 clarity, it's a remarkably clean, bright example of Old Mine cutting.
At this size, it's an ideal accent stone or an accessible entry point for anyone starting an antique diamond collection, without compromising on the quality of grading.

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.
