What is Old European Cut? The Timeless Vintage Charm of Old European Cut Lab Diamonds

The Old European Cut lab diamond represents the pinnacle of vintage jewelry craftsmanship. As the direct predecessor to modern brilliant cuts, this historic style dominated jewelry design from the late 19th to early 20th century. When you choose an Old European Cut lab diamond, you're selecting a stone with distinctive characteristics: a higher crown, smaller table, open culet, and substantial crown depth. These features were meticulously designed to maximize sparkle under candlelight, creating the romantic, dancing light effects that make Old European Cut lab diamonds so sought after today.

Old European Cut Lab Diamond vs Moissanite: Understanding Fundamental Differences

When considering an Old European Cut lab diamond versus moissanite, understanding their fundamental properties is crucial. This knowledge will help you appreciate why Old European Cut lab diamonds deliver superior performance in this classic cut.

Core Composition & Properties

Why These Differences Matter for Old European Cut

Old European Cut Lab Diamonds are real diamonds created in controlled laboratory environments using advanced CVD or HPHT technology. According to GIA's official definition, they possess identical chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical-optical properties to mined diamonds. This fundamental truth gives Old European Cut lab diamonds their incomparable transparency and light performance.

In comparison, Moissanite is composed of silicon carbide (SiC), representing the closest optical simulant to diamonds. GIA's Gem Encyclopedia confirms that while moissanite visually resembles diamonds, its physical properties are fundamentally different.

Technical Performance Analysis

Refractive Index Impact:

• Old European Cut Lab Diamond (2.42): Achieves optimal balance of brilliance, transparency and depth

• Moissanite (2.65): Creates stronger surface-level white brightness

Dispersion Value Effect:

• Old European Cut Lab Diamond (0.044): Produces classic, restrained fire with subtle rainbows

• Moissanite (0.104): Generates intense rainbow effects, more than double diamond's dispersion

Key Takeaway:
When these inherent properties meet the bold facets of the Old European Cut , the Old European Cut Moissanite amplifies its vibrant rainbows and surface-level brightness, while the Old European Cut Lab Grown Diamond fully expresses its incomparable transparency and richly layered, restrained fire.
