Antique cut diamonds are commonly found in jewellery from the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco Eras, spanning from the 1700s through the late 1800s. Diamonds from this time were cut by hand because the bruting machines we use today weren't invented until the 1900s. Diamond cutters of this time were inventive. They assessed every diamond individually, making cuts to bring out the best colour and sparkle for each stone. The diamonds were meant to dazzle under low-light conditions such as candles and gas lamps. Cutting by hand and eye-balling the cuts meant that no two diamonds would ever be the same. Advances in diamond-cutting technology led to the development of the old European cut diamond in the late 1800s.
