Old-cut diamonds, often referred to as "antique cuts," are prized for their vintage charm and distinct sparkle. These diamonds were hand-cut before modern cutting techniques, typically featuring a simpler, less precise shape compared to today's brilliant cuts. The history of diamond cutting dates back to the 14th century when early artisans began shaping diamonds to enhance their natural brilliance. Over the centuries, cutting techniques evolved, leading to the more intricate and precise diamond shapes we see today. Despite these advancements, old-cut diamonds remain highly valued for their unique, historical appeal and romantic character.
