Antique Cuts Diamonds

However, when it comes to diamonds, the word Antique is used for the cutting style devised in the olden times.

History has borne witness to the numerous cutting styles adapted by humans to get the best brilliance from a diamond. Due to the natural octahedron shape of a diamond, the Point Cut was the first cut to be created. This was however not enough to capture the brilliance of the diamond. After more details, the Table cut was introduced which was again improvised, and we got the Old Single cut. The idea behind the trial and error of these cuts was to retain maximum weight of the diamond while working on the appearance of the diamond itself. Through more experiments, the cuts matured into the Rose Cut, Mazarin, Peruzzi, and Old European Cut. It was not until early 20th century that the modern day round brilliant cut diamond with a total number of 57 or 58 facets was born.
