We’ve all seen that ring. But as longtime lovers of the old mine cut diamond, we must say we think they’re pretty awesome and it’s wonderful that they’re receiving new interest and a lot of love nearly 180 years after they were originally faceted.  They’re such a special piece of gemological history when lapidaries cut diamonds by hand, not following any strict guidelines but rather using the rough stone at hand and their expertise to make something lovely, sparkly, and worthy of praise. 

Words pretty much fail to describe this stunner: a gorgeous antique old mine cut diamond solitaire engagement ring. This antique mount lets the diamond be the star of the show, a diva in the best sense of the word. The sparkling specimen of a 5.38 carat cushion-shaped old mine cut diamond is GIA certified as being N color and SI2 clarity. It is set in a 14K antique rosy gold, eight prong setting, filed to elegant claws. It’s classic, timeless, yet made c. the late 19th/early 20th Century. 

This ring is in excellent antique condition. It is presently size 6.25 and can be resized.
