Antique Old Mine Cut Diamond 1.16 ct | Y-Z SI1
Why we chose this stone
Hand cut at least 80 years ago and recovered from old estate jewellery in Antwerp, this antique old mine cut diamond is a genuine survivor from a time before modern cutting. Its soft cushion outline, high crown, small table and wide open culet give it a rich, candlelit sparkle that glows rather than glitters. At 1.16 ct, it sits comfortably in the size range that many collectors and engagement buyers look for in an antique stone, and its slightly uneven, hand-finished facets add warmth and individuality. It is well suited to a vintage-style ring, a heirloom-inspired design or a carefully curated period collection. The diamond is sold loose and unset, leaving your jeweller free to create the right setting. You can view it in Perth or have it shipped Australia-wide from Hope Diamonds, with its age and Antwerp provenance guaranteed.

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.
