The bridge between hand cutting and the modern round. A circular outline, a small table, a high crown, and a culet left open at the base. It returns light in broad, slow flashes rather than fine glitter. Every Old European Cut we sell is cut in our own Surat facility, to period proportions, by craftsmen who know what the modern round gave up to gain symmetry.
