Old European Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

A Window to the Past: Old World Beauty
The old European cut diamond shape, also called the old Euro, is a predecessor to the modern round brilliant. The stone still has a round shape and 58 facets, but is hand-cut. This means the stone may have less symmetry than modern diamonds, though that does give the stone individuality and character that may be missing from stones without that hands-on touch.

Old European Cut diamonds are a window to the past, a reflection of the exquisite craftsmanship and aesthetic preferences of the early 20th century.

These diamonds are characterized by a round shape and a high crown, giving them a unique look. The larger facets and deeper proportions of Old European Cut diamonds create a charming play of light, unlike modern round brilliant cuts.
