Antique ruby and diamond ring made in 1887
This antique ruby and diamond ring was made in the Victorian era in 1887.
What is a mine cut diamond? What is a cushion 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 diamond. These are referred to as old mine cut diamonds, or “old miners” as well as “cushion cut diamonds” . These were cut often squarish or cushion shaped, with quite a steep angle on the crown and pavilion. This was to maximise weight retention in the diamond. As well as these features, the “old miners” often had quite a large culet or collet, the horizontal base formed by the blunting of a point when the stone is cut as a brilliant.
Are antique diamonds conflict free?
Yes! Besides being hand made, antique diamond engagement rings are also set with conflict-free diamonds making them more ethical than some modern diamond engagement rings. Antique engagement rings from the Victorian era as well as the Art Deco era are more popular and sought after than ever before.
