Antique Gems
Rare artifacts and ancient carvings from lost civilizations.
Royal & Aristocratic Jewellery
Beyond individual stones, the world of antiques includes the intricate settings created for European and Asian royalty. These pieces combined the finest diamonds, pearls, and colored stones into wearable art.
From the tiaras of the Romanovs to the necklaces of the Maharajas, these pieces tell the story of global trade, artistic innovation, and the extreme luxury of the ruling classes throughout history.
Antique Diamond Cuts
Before the modern brilliant cut, diamonds were fashioned into Old Mine and Rose cuts. These styles were designed to maximize the glow of the diamond under candlelight, giving them a soft, romantic fire.
Cuts like the Table cut or the Briolette reflect the evolution of gem-cutting technology. Today, these antique styles are experiencing a massive revival among collectors who value character and history over mechanical perfection.
The Art of the Cabochon
The cabochon—a gemstone cut with a flat bottom and a smooth, domed top—is the oldest style of gem finishing. It is particularly used to showcase phenomenal effects like asterism (stars) and chatoyancy (cat's eyes).
High-quality sapphires, rubies, and opals are often finished as cabochons to highlight their internal depth and color saturation. This style provides a tactile and organic connection to the gemstone's natural form.
