India was the world’s first bastion of high-production diamond mines until its deposits were tapped in the 18th century. Miners then turned their attention to Brazil to source these gorgeous stones, which were gaining popularity as cutting technology improved to make diamonds prettier than ever.

Diamonds from these two locations are called "Old Mine cuts". Most of them were mined using traditional methods, such as panning and non-industrialized digging. The Mine Cut technique helped to showcase the beauty of these rough, imperfectly shaped diamonds. The cut produced stones with larger facets and a higher crown, which creates a soft, eye-catching sparkle. 

Old Mine cut diamonds were popular back in the day! From royal courts to the glittering salons of Paris, Old Mine cut diamonds were the gem of choice for the fashion-forward set as they achieve the perfect fire and romantic glimmer. We fabricated this exquisite .70ct H VS2 stone in our custom four-pronged setting for the most classic pendant around.
