Vintage & Antique Cuts
Old Mine and other antique cuts were designed to capture and return candlelight. Their softly rounded corners, higher crowns, smaller tables, and broader facets create a diamond that glows with depth and warmth rather than the sharper brilliance of modern cuts. A gentle, romantic light that evokes a sense of warmth, individuality, and quiet connection to another era.
Our Approach to Sourcing
With long-established relationships with local and international suppliers, we have access to an exceptional selection of vintage diamonds, many of which are not readily available. Each stone is carefully considered for its individuality, and beauty. Our aim is to help you discover a diamond that feels truly personal, with a history and charm unlike modern cuts.
Below is a selection of vintage diamonds we can source for you, with further examples available in our shop.
We invite you to enquire or arrange a private appointment to explore the possibilities. Tel+6495248440
