Even under 10x magnification, it is very difficult to find any inclusions! As an Old Mine cut diamond, it has wide, hand cut facets which return exceptionally big and bright sparkle as well as captivating flashes of colorful fire (rainbow refractions). This stone came from an estate and we believe at some point, it was polished to remove any minor wear points from the last 100+ years and also to improve its brilliance. The previous owner had the cut refined to make this a truly fantastic diamond. The stone has excellent poilsh and looks amazing in person, with superior life and fire. During the polishing, the lower half facet length just slightly surpassed the GIA formula for old mine cut, therefore they improperly classified it as “cushion modified”. In person and based on industry rules, it is clearly an old mine cut. The diamond truly has that quintessential old cut look and can be slightly polished to bring it into the old mine cut GIA threshold with minimal loss. Overall, this is an amazing diamond that is exceptionally rare and very special. You will absolutely fall in love with this stunning beauty’s brilliance, fire, and antique cut! Absolutely one of a kind, excellent in quality, and truly dazzling, this gorgeous diamond is sure to become an heirloom, bringing joy to your family for generations to come.
