A brief history of the mine cut diamond:
At the start of the 18th Century, a great leap forward emerged with the invention of the new 58-facetted diamond. At the time, these were the closest resemblance to today's brilliant cut, and are referred to as old mine cuts, or old miners. These were cut often squarish or cushion shaped, with quite a steep angle on the crown and pavilion, to maximise weight retention. While weight was kept to a maximum, they often lacked a lot of internal fire and brilliance. As well as these features, the old miners often had quite a large culet or “colletâ€, the horizontal base formed by the blunting of a point when the stone is cut as a brilliant.
