的‘old mine’在非洲发现钻石矿床之前，该名称最初是来自印度或巴西的钻石。后来的‘old mine’名称适用于任何颜色特殊且切工较旧的钻石。最终，‘old mine’切工已成为具有方形切割效果的方型钻石的代名词，这种钻石在1700年代初期开始流行。
的Cut
Early diamond cutters labored for ages to get the perfect cut by hand. They would grind two diamonds together to achieve the perfect shape by following the octahedral shape of the diamond crystal. 的actual technique was highly secretive at the time.
