European diamond cluster earrings

What is a European cut diamond?
During the mid 19th century, the old European cut came into focus. This 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.
Are antique diamonds conflict-free?
Yes! As they were mined over a century ago, there is no concern about the diamonds being "blood diamonds".
Are antique diamonds better for the environment?
Yes! As the diamonds were mined over 100 years ago, there is no need to use heavy, modern mining equipment to mine the diamonds.
