6.0Ctw Vintage Cushion-Cut Retro Sapphire Stud Earrings-JEWELBUYS

The old-fashioned cushion cut sapphire, often referred to as the "old-fashioned cut," originated in the 18th century and remained the most popular sapphire cut until the late 19th century. This cut is prized for its gentle square profile, high crown, small table, deep pavilion, and large culet. This distinctive style originated in Brazil, where diamond cutters focused on maximizing the carat weight of the rough stone, largely influenced by the increased Brazilian diamond supply following the decline of India's traditional diamond-producing regions.
