I''ve recently become obsessed with old cut diamonds, OEC diamonds in particular. I stumbled across this ring at Mel''s Antique Jewelry ebay store and was really intrigued by the comparison of two different cuts in the same ring. The two diamonds on the left appear to be mine cuts and the one on the right looks like a transitional. Experts, please feel free to chime in!
The two diamonds on the left have been cut extremely shallow at the top so there isn''t as much of a ''rainbow'' effect. The diamonds actually look like fish eyes to me! The one on the right is full of flashes and life, and it''s obvious from the side profile that it has a much higher table than the others.
I just thought this might be of interest to other old cut lovers
