The Old European Cut stands as a testament to the journey, from the initial round diamond shapes to the modern
brilliant cut. The first significant stride in the evolution of the Old European Diamond Cut traces back to the 14th century, where diamond cutters sought to enhance the natural octahedral surface by polishing.
The movement from the pointed stone to the table stone in the 15th century marked a revolutionary shift. This change led to the creation of the early Old European Cut diamond with a square roundness, distinct from today's
Princess cut. With the advent of grinding wheels, facets were introduced to the diamond surface, leading to the development of the Old Rose Cut. The Mazarin cut in the 17th century and later, Vinzent Peruzzi's cut in the 18th century, added more facets and shaped the diamond into a classic old cut.
