How Much are Old World Diamonds?
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024The oldest known diamonds in the world are Diavik and Ekati diamonds. Both come from mines located in Canada.

On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of diamond jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023How old an old European-cut diamond is varies. The old European cut is a precursor to the modern round brilliant cut. The stone appears circular when looked at from the top (because of its low table or largest facet) and has a high crown (the part above the middle of the stone) with larger facets. The tip of the stone, or the culet, is flat instead of pointed. This style was used predominantly in the 19th century, hence the name. It is best to consult a certified appraiser for assistance with dating and identifying antique jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a variety of European-cut diamond jewelry.
