"Clients are really leaning into sentimental and one-of-a-kind pieces. Antique diamonds were cut by hand over a century ago and no antique stone is alike," Jillian Sassone, founder of Marrow Fine says. Ashley Zhang speaks to the resulting look: "These styles have more dramatic proportions and open cutlets. They are slightly less brilliant than modern diamonds and feature a more subtle sparkle." For that reason, jewelers like Susie Saltzman help find customers ways to infuse vintage elements into modern designs, so that they feel like heirlooms without sacrificing quality.
