Antique Diamond Brilliance
Old Mine Cut Diamonds: The bangle is set with graduating natural Old Mine cut diamonds, celebrated for their unique "blocky" sparkle and large culets.
Graduated Arrangement: The stones are meticulously sized to taper elegantly toward the sides of the wrist, a classic design choice that emphasizes the center stone’s size and fire.
Hand-Faceted Character: Because these diamonds were cut by hand over a century ago, each stone possesses a distinct personality and romantic glow.
