“Like detectives, diamond experts rely on descriptions and images of jewelry in old paintings, catalogs, and diaries to understand what the first cut diamonds looked like.”
{learning about old diamond cuts today in my GIA studies. Couldn’t be more inspired/excited.}

Hello- i just found your blog and have killed quite a bit of time perusing your posts! very nice! i recently replaced my lost wedding ring with an antique diamond ring from the 1920’s. the diamond is european cut, and has the tiny hole to reflect light. I did some research into this type and the old mine cut and like you, find diamond history very interesting.
I posted a pic of my ring on my blog if you want to have a look:
