An Old Mine Cut lab diamond is a modern recreation of one of the earliest diamond styles, first popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Recognised for its cushion-shaped outline, high crown, and deep facets, it produces a softer, candlelit sparkle compared to modern cuts. Created through advanced lab technology, these diamonds combine antique charm with ethical production. The Old Mine Cut remains a favourite for those who appreciate vintage-inspired jewellery and distinctive, hand-cut character.
A genuine Old Mine Cut diamond can be recognised by its cushion like shape, high crown, small table, and deep pavilion. Unlike modern precision cuts, it often has slightly irregular facets that create a soft, candlelight style glow. Another hallmark feature is the open culet, a visible point at the base of the stone. These characteristics give the Old Mine Cut its distinctive antique charm and help differentiate it from newer, machine-cut designs.
