Old European cut diamonds hold a special place in the hearts of collectors and sparkle enthusiasts alike. These gems, with their history and hand-cut charm, tell stories of bygone eras. At Market Square Jewelers, we cherish the artistry that went into every facet, each one a tiny masterpiece crafted by skilled hands over a century ago.
The Old European cut is the quintessential vintage diamond, an heirloom treasure from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These diamonds are round, but their magic lies in their distinctive features:
Larger facets that create a soft, colorful glow.
A high crown and a small table that give them a domed, regal silhouette.
Open culets, a signature hallmark that adds a touch of whimsy to their design.
Handcrafted individuality, where each diamond reflects the personality of the artisan who cut it.
These characteristics make every Old European cut diamond a unique treasure, full of history and charm, perfect for anyone who values the individuality and romance of vintage jewelry.
There’s a romance to these diamonds that modern cuts can’t replicate. Their sparkle isn’t about blinding brilliance but about warmth, fire, and character. Each stone is a reminder of a time when every diamond was cut by hand, where perfection wasn’t measured in symmetry but in soul.
Old European cut diamonds are for those of us who find beauty in the past, who love pieces that feel like they’ve lived a life. Whether set in an Art Deco masterpiece or a simple solitaire, these diamonds become part of your story, adding another chapter to their legacy.
Engagement rings set with Old European cut diamonds are something special. There’s a subtle magic to the way these diamonds catch the light, the larger facets creating flashes of color that feel alive. Pair them with intricate filigree or a simple band, and you have a piece that feels timeless, elegant, and unmistakably yours.

Jewelry should be lived in, loved, and celebrated—but it also deserves care. Old European cut diamonds are durable, but many come in vintage settings that need a little extra attention.
Clean them gently with warm water and a soft brush to keep their sparkle alive.
Have them inspected regularly to ensure their settings are secure.
Store them carefully to avoid scratches or damage when not in use.
