Old Mine Cut Diamonds

Timeless Fires of the Earth

Old Mine Cut diamonds from all Misfit's Library includeing Antique and Modern Antique diamonds.

The Old Mine Cut is one of the earliest forms of brilliant cutting, seen in diamonds from the 18th and 19th centuries. With its softly squared outline, high crown, and smaller table, the Old Mine Cut carries a depth and warmth that modern precision rarely attempts.

Each facet was shaped by hand, guided by candlelight rather than machines, giving the stones a flicker like fire caught in the depths of the earth. This irregular, human touch is what makes antique Old Mine Cuts so alive.

Today, artisans still cut diamonds in this style—the “modern antique” Old Mine Cuts—allowing us to wear jewelry that bridges centuries. Whether antique or newly made, these diamonds shimmer with a gentle, romantic glow, carrying forward the beauty of imperfection and the poetry of time.
