Why do I love Old European Diamonds as a unique alternative to classic round brilliant cut diamonds?

Old European cut diamonds are full of history and charm. Having been cut by hand under candlelight, every Diamond is one-of-a-kind.

The modern round brilliant diamond and the old European cut both have either 57 or 58 facets, but the shape and placement of those facets gives each cut its distinctive personality. Whereas vintage diamonds were cut for charm, modern round brilliant diamonds, as their name suggests, are cut for brilliance.

Light is intended to go into the diamond and bounce right back out into the eye of the beholder. This creates the bling that has become ubiquitous in modern jewelry. Antique stones capture light differently, drawing the eye in rather than immediately radiating sparkle out.
