European Cut Diamonds
The old European cut is the round brilliant's Victorian and Edwardian predecessor — a small table, a tall crown, a visible culet and 58 hand-cut facets that produce broad, romantic flashes instead of modern needle-sharp scintillation.
Genuine European cuts are a finite supply, since none have been produced since roughly the 1930s, and that is much of the appeal. You can compare natural and lab-grown stones side by side here — chemically and optically identical, differing only in origin and price. Our lab-grown diamond guide explains how the two compare. Compare it with every other outline in our diamond shapes guide, and get to grips with what actually drives price in our diamond 4Cs guide. All our stones carry independent laboratory certification and transparent pricing, and our London team will talk you through any of them with no obligation.
