"my favorite of the older cuts are the old mine
and european cuts. They have a bit more sparkle than the rose cut (though i love their quiet
and demure nature as well). i remember the
first time i saw an antique engagement ring
with a 4-carat european cut. i tried it on and
never wanted to take it off. it was probably that
moment when i knew i would start using
repurposed vintage stones and 'new old cuts' in
my designs. i love that older stones were cut to
achieve the maximum beauty of the stone,
whether that meant inclusions were not cut
out or the stone showed some color, which
makes a stone feel like a real part of the earth
to me. Their natural quality seemed like a perfect fit for my aesthetic of natural beauty as
well as a way to connect to the past, which is
another inspiration for me."
