- Unique and intricate designs Antique jewellery is popularly known for its unique and intricate designs. These designs are so unique that you can be assured that there is no other one in the world who wears the exact same piece of jewellery as yours. Unlike many modern diamond rings, the cut of antique diamonds are individual and intricate. The diamonds are uniquely cut to produce a detailed yet elegant look like no other.
