About Old European Cut Diamonds Old European cut diamonds, predecessors to the modern brilliant cut, were hand-cut in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are known for their slightly domed tops, open culets, and deep, romantic sparkle. These diamonds often have a warmer glow and unique charm, carrying the craftsmanship and history of their time.
About Marquise or "Eye"-Shaped Rings This ring’s distinctive navette or “eye” shape was especially popular in the 1910s–1920s for its ability to elongate the finger and showcase symmetry. The design is often seen in engagement rings and statement pieces from the Art Nouveau and early Art Deco periods, known for their fluid lines and intricate metalwork.
