Old Cut Wedding Stack: A Timeless Love Story

In a world where trends come and go, there’s something irresistibly charming about old cut diamonds and vintage engagement rings. They carry a history, a unique character, and a warmth that modern cuts often lack. Today, I’m thrilled to share my journey of building the perfect old cut wedding stack—a labor of love that reflects not only my personal style but also the beauty of antique craftsmanship.

The Allure of Old Cuts

The term “old cut” broadly includes diamonds that were cut before the 20th century, such as the Old Mine, Old European, and even the Transitional cut. Unlike their modern counterparts, these diamonds have a different sparkle due to their larger facets and distinct shapes, allowing for an enchanting play of light. Each stone has a unique personality, and that’s what drew me to them.

Why Choose Old Cuts?

• Uniqueness: No two diamonds are alike, making your ring truly one-of-a-kind.
• History: Old cut diamonds often have stories to tell, having been passed down or found in antique markets.
• Sentiment: They encapsulate a romantic essence, making them perfect symbols of love and commitment.

Building My Stack

I started my collection with a stunning Old European cut engagement ring. From the moment I laid my eyes on it, I was enchanted by its soft, romantic glow. The intricacies of the metalwork surrounding the stone—a delicate vintage setting—had undoubtedly seen generations of love stories unfold.

Then came the wedding band, a lovely contoured piece adorned with a row of smaller old cut diamonds. It hugged my engagement ring perfectly, emphasizing its beauty while adding a layer of elegance to the stack.

To add a touch of color, I recently found a vintage sapphire ring to complement my stack. Sapphires have long been associated with royalty and have an undeniable charm. Mixing colored stones with old cut diamonds adds a touch of whimsy and modernity without detracting from the classics.
