FAQs

D provides absolute colorlessness in an old Euro. The antique round faceting with its smaller table, higher crown, and open culet can show body color slightly more than modern round brilliants. D eliminates any warmth concerns, ensuring the vintage round stone appears ice-white through every broad flash of its distinctive flower-pattern sparkle.
Old Euros have a smaller table and higher crown that produce broader, chunkier light flashes compared to the tight scintillation of modern rounds. The open culet is visible through the table. These features can make body color slightly more apparent at near-colorless grades. At D, this is irrelevant since there is no body color.
VS1 or VS2. The old Euro's larger facets are somewhat more transparent than modern round's tight faceting. VS2 is typically eye-clean. VS1 provides extra assurance for the antique facet pattern. The open culet is a design feature, not a clarity concern.
At carats, a D color old euro is colorless, meaning it is absolutely colorless with no detectable warmth. Only detectable by trained gemologists with master stones. In white gold or platinum, D color faces up clean and bright. In yellow or rose gold, any faint body color becomes imperceptible against the warm metal. The old euro cut's antique brilliant facets create elegant reflections of the metal color.
