Old European cut

The Old European cut is a vintage diamond cut developed in the early 20th century. It features a rounded, symmetrical shape with a shorter, more angled pavilion and larger, open facets that maximize brilliance and fire. This cut has a distinctive, slightly flatter appearance compared to modern rounds, with a smaller table (top flat facet) and a “hallen” or “crushed ice” look in the crown. Valued for its classic charm and craftsmanship, the Old European cut emphasizes depth and scintillation, offering a timeless, romantic appeal that reflects early 20th-century jewelry artistry.
