1.62ct Old Mine Cut Natural Three Stone Diamond Ring, 18ct Gold & Platinum
There's a reason we keep coming back to old mine cuts. Cut entirely by hand, decades before machinery ever touched a diamond, each one carries a character that modern brilliant cuts simply can't replicate, a soft, warm sparkle, a slightly irregular outline, a personality all of its own. This three-stone ring is a beautiful example, with a substantial 0.82ct old mine cut centre stone flanked by two generously sized old mine cut side stones, bringing the total diamond weight to 1.62ct. Set in a classic combination of 18ct yellow gold and platinum, gold for the band, platinum for the claws holding each stone this is a ring with real old-world elegance. The setting is beautifully traditional: fine claw settings that let maximum light into each stone, with the slightly cushioned, rounded outlines typical of hand-cut diamonds giving the whole ring a softness that modern round brilliants rarely achieve. This is a genuinely special piece for anyone drawn to diamonds with history and character rather than the uniform sparkle of a modern cut. It would make a truly unique engagement ring for someone who wants something with real presence and provenance, or an equally striking eternity or anniversary piece for someone building a considered collection. Please note this piece has not been laboratory certified, though it has been fully assessed and authenticated in-house by our team the centre stone is approximately 0.82ct, with an estimated colour and clarity of K/VS.

Old mine cuts were hand-cut before modern cutting machinery existed, typically before the early 1900s. They have a distinctive cushion-shaped outline, a higher crown and smaller table than modern cuts, and a warm, softer sparkle that many people find more romantic than a modern brilliant cut.
