What is an antique-cut diamond?

Antique cuts (old mine, old European, cushion, and rose cuts) were shaped by hand before modern brilliant cutting techniques existed. They feature larger facets, irregular outlines, and a softer, candlelit fire compared to today's symmetrical brilliants.

Where is Dynasty made?

Every Dynasty piece is designed by Creative Director Erica Bianchini and handcrafted in Ecksand's Montreal atelier, where sketching, sourcing, setting, and finishing all happen under one roof.

Can Dynasty rings be customized?

Yes. Dynasty designs can be adapted in metal colour, stone size, or engraving. Contact an Ecksand client advisor for assistance.

Is Dynasty only for engagement?

No. While Dynasty launches with engagement rings, the collection's antique-cut signature is designed to carry presence beyond: anniversary bands, right-hand rings, or an everyday statement.

Q: Are Dynasty's diamonds ethically sourced?

Dynasty

The Dynasty Collection rewrites bridal jewelry through the language of antique-cut diamonds: stones once shaped entirely by hand with unmistakable character. Old mine cut diamonds and old European cuts diamonds each arrive with a history of their own, selected for their character rather than their conformity, then set into a new architectural framework where inherited brilliance becomes a contemporary signature.

Designed by Creative Director Erica Bianchini and crafted entirely within Ecksand's Montreal atelier, every Dynasty piece moves through the full vertical process the Maison is known for: sketch, sourcing, setting, finishing, and engraving of the Canadian National Mark, all under one roof. Settings are rendered in solid gold of recycled origin or sustainable platinum and engineered around the singular geometry of each stone. The result is a bridal collection where modern precision frames the warm interior glow of antique cut diamonds.

Dynasty's design vocabulary moves between restraint and detail. Architectural solitaires sit alongside hidden halo engagement rings, where a discrete ring of accent diamonds rests beneath the centre stone and reveals itself only in profile. For those drawn to softer historical references, the collection offers vintage-inspired engagement rings that draw on Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian motifs without descending into pastiche. For those seeking departure, non-traditional engagement rings introduce asymmetry, mixed cuts, and unconventional silhouettes that read as deliberately personal.

Dynasty is bridal by intention, not by limitation. Its antique-cut signature is designed to carry weight beyond the left hand: men's engagement rings, anniversary bands, and right-hand rings extend the language across the wearer's full life of jewelry, each design scaled and proportioned to its intended hand.

A new lineage of bridal jewelry, signed by Erica Bianchini and built under one roof. The ceremonial register of antique diamonds, reframed for today through Canadian craftsmanship and noble materials.
