The short answer
What is an old mine cut diamond at Sula?
Old mine is Sula's cut-style description for a newly produced laboratory-grown diamond with antique-inspired facet character. It is not a claim that the stone is a period antique.
The selected stone remains the authority for its outline, proportions, culet, dimensions and light performance. Confirm those details on its product page and report when provided.

Ring structure
One ring, three decisions
Cut style, outline and setting are separate choices
Old mine describes the cut family. Cushion, elongated cushion and round describe the face-up outline. Solitaire, bezel and multi-stone describe how the ring holds and frames the center.
Compare these decisions separately so an outline preference is not mistaken for a promise about the setting or side profile.
Evaluate the individual stone
How will an old mine cut look in motion?
- 01
Face-up
Read the outline and center facet pattern.
- 02
Side profile
Check height and how the setting holds the stone.
- 03
Movement
Notice how the pattern changes as the diamond moves.
- 04
Changing light
Compare more than one lighting condition.
If the product media does not show a needed view, ask for it before choosing.
Setting and metal
Choosing a setting and metal
A bezel adds metal around the stone; a multi-stone design adds visual weight beside it. Compare center-stone height, coverage and wedding-band adjacency. Exact construction must be confirmed on the product page.
Yellow, rose and white metal also change the visual read. Confirm the current metal and construction options rather than assuming every design is offered the same way.
