Antique Old Mine Cut Diamond 1.66 ct | N VS2
Why we chose this stone
Cut by hand at least 80 years ago and salvaged from old estate jewellery in Antwerp, this antique old mine cut diamond has the cushion-shaped outline and unmistakable charm of a stone from another era. The high crown, small table and large open culet catch light in a deep, glowing way, with soft flashes and a warm, romantic sparkle rather than the crisp fire of a modern brilliant. At 1.66 ct, it has a commanding, substantial look, and its hand-finished facets give it a personality that no machine-cut stone can match. It is a striking choice for an antique-style engagement ring, a bespoke restoration or a collection of period diamonds. The diamond is sold loose and unset, so your jeweller can design a setting around its character. 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.
