The diamond in the centre and the ones at each end are star set where the beads securing the diamonds to the gold are made in a “star” pattern, with the diamonds set on each side of the centre diamond, are in a lozenge shaped setting. It is small but wonderful features such as this that shows just how much thought and attention went into making this bangle all those years ago.

Antique diamond bangle in 15 carat gold
Antique diamond bangle in 15 carat gold made in the Victorian era of the 1890’s. This antique bangle is set with five genuine antique European cut diamonds in a star setting.
What is a European cut diamond?
During the mid 19th century, the old European cut came into focus, and was an attempt to change the old mine cut stones into a more perfect round cut. These stones can be considered as the first true round brilliant cut diamonds. The facets from the old miners were kept in their same position, but changed shape to a more round and evenly shaped stone.
The culets became smaller, as it was realised that light could leak out from this point in the stone. The development of the modern brilliant cut occurred in the early part of the 20thcentury with further modifications through the century. Diamond cutters apply the brilliant cut to other shapes, and this very exacting skill continues to enthrall craftsman and enthusiasts alike.
