Victorian Old Mine-Cut Diamond Bangle Bracelet, 9.00 Carats

Old Mine-cut diamonds totaling approximately 9.00 carats are the stars of this Victorian-era bangle bracelet. The Old Mine style emerged during the late 18th century, when diamonds were still cut and sized by hand, making it the oldest recognized cut known today. A precursor to the modern day brilliant-cut diamond, the Old Mine cut introduced a greater brilliance and fire than previously thought possible in diamond cutting. To find multiple such diamonds in one piece is truly rare, and these examples dazzle in their 12.2K gold settings.
