Originating from the legendary Golconda mines in India, these diamonds are known for their pure and colorless quality, often classified as Type IIa, which is chemically the purest form of diamond. The Old European Cut is a specific style of diamond cutting that was popular from 1890 to 1930. These diamonds are characterized by their round shape, high crown, deep pavilion, and large facets, which produce a distinctive sparkle with a soft, warm glow. Unlike modern diamonds that are cut with precision machinery, Old European Cut diamonds were cut by hand, giving each stone a unique charm and slightly asymmetrical appearance. The rarity of Old Golconda diamonds stems from their limited supply. The Golconda mines were depleted by the early 18th century, making these diamonds exceedingly rare. Today, less than 2% of the world’s diamonds can be classified as Golconda, which speaks to their scarcity and the high esteem in which they are held by collectors and connoisseurs alike.Â
