This stone is a piece of history, perfect for a design that withstands the test of time. This antique diamond was cut by hand and made to shine in candlelight.

The origins of French cut diamonds can be traced back to the 14th-Century; they are a natural evolution of the Table Cut, which is considered the very first example of faceted Diamonds.

The French Cut was also popular in the 1920s and was more popular in France than in other nations at a certain point in History; that's where the name probably came from. Given the most unusual lack of visible references from older literature, it seems likely that the name “The French Cut” was a 20th-Century creation.

Diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making them the hardest gemstone used in jewelry. If the diamond is mounted carefully and treated with care, it can last for generations!

Diamonds are also the birthstone for April and are used to celebrate 60th and 75th anniversaries.
