"Mine Diamonds" or "Old Mine" Diamonds refers to a specific shape of a cut and polished diamond popular many years ago. Diamonds that are mined from the earth are in a "rough" state, that is not yet cut and polished. The rough diamond is then cleaved, or sawed into two or more pieces, and then those pieces are shaped by further cutting, bruting, or polishing into a specific shape. The popular shapes of diamonds today include the Round Brilliant (the most popular) the Princess, the Emerald, the Radiant, the Pear, the Marquise, the Oval, the Heart, the Cushion, the Trillion shapes. The "Old Mine" shape was the early predecessor of the Round Brilliant, and resembled the modern Cushion shape. The Old Mine shape evolved into the "Old European" shape, which was more round.
