Old mine cut diamonds are a type of antique diamond which unlike modern diamonds, that are cut and polished using high-tech equipment, old mine cut diamonds were cut by hand and eye, often giving them soft curving edges and a high crown that many people love about antique diamonds. This diamond cut was used extensively throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
