1.06 Carat Antique Old Mine Cut Loose Diamond
This gorgeous Old Mine Cut Diamond is the most beautiful plump and chunky stone that would make a perfect centre piece for a special engagement ring. The Old Mine Cut is an early form of the modern Brilliant Cut Diamond, owing to the tools available at the time the shape follows the natural shape of the rough Diamond meaning that the crown is high and facets are wide. Each Diamond was painstakingly cut by hand following the natural form of the individual stone, unlike the modern stones of today where each one is cut as close to the ‘ideal’ Brilliant Cut as possible, resulting in each modern Diamond looking exactly the same as the next.
Weighing 1.06 Carat the Diamond measures mm 6.5mm X 5.2mm. The Diamond is super clear with no visible inclusions, and approximately VS Clarity. The gorgeous warm hue is approximately K-L Colour and cut at a time where Diamonds weren’t graded by how white they were. Candlelight was the main light source at this time, a backdrop where Diamonds with a warmth of colour really came alive.
We can set this stunning antique Diamond into your choice of setting, we can assist in designing something spectacular for you from a solitaire ring, pendant or a more elaborate piece with Diamond accents. Just get in touch and we’d be more than happy to help and advise. Or maybe you’d like to propose with the loose Diamond and let your beloved choose the setting?!
Circa 1800s.

Vintage and Antique Rings
Most of our vintage and antique rings are eligible for complimentary re-sizing. Please contact us with details of the ring you are interested in so that we can inform you if sizing to your required size is possible. The first re-sizing is complimentary after which a cost of £40 will occur for subsequent sizings.
Re-sizing usually takes 1-2 weeks to complete.
Modern and Bespoke Rings
Our modern and bespoke rings are made to order and so we will need to know the size required at the time of ordering. In some instances we can make the ring to an average size and then re-size the ring at a later date. Please contact us for details about sizing specific rings.
What if I don't know the ring size I need?
If you're not sure of the ring size you require then we recommend having the ring re-sized after it has been given to the recipient, they can then have their finger measured at a local jewellers afterwards if possible. This way we can ensure that the size is accurate first time.
