Want a proposal ring with real character and old world romance? Our old mine cut engagement ring delivers exactly that. A magnificent 4.46ct old mine cut lab grown diamond takes centre stage, its soft cushion shape and chunky antique faceting held in double claws on a beautifully sculpted split shoulder band, all in warm 18ct yellow gold. So the whole ring feels vintage and grand at once, with a stone that glows rather than glitters, throwing big, bold flashes of light the way antique diamonds famously do. Romantic, distinctive, and utterly generous, this is the ring for someone who wants heirloom charm with a modern heart.
Why does the old mine cut feel so special? Its history and its glow. The old mine cut is the antique forerunner of today’s cushion, hand cut centuries ago with a soft square to cushion outline, a high crown, and large, open facets. Those big facets give it a warm, candlelit sparkle, broad flashes of light with a charm that modern precision cuts simply cannot copy. At 4.46ct this stone has enormous presence, while the split shoulder band, which divides gracefully on each side, frames it and adds an elegant, architectural flourish. As a result, the ring feels timeless, characterful, and truly one of a kind.
We craft this old mine cut engagement ring in 18ct yellow gold and set the lab grown diamond by hand. It grades E in colour, near the very top of the scale, and VVS2 in clarity, so it is exceptionally white and clean, and it is IGI certified, so its quality is guaranteed in writing. So you get a huge, top grade diamond, real gold, and remarkable value.

- Accent Stones: None
- Metal: 18ct yellow gold (also available in 18ct white and rose gold on request)
