Not all natural diamonds are the same - this indented inclusion is found along the girdle!

An indented natural is when the original diamond rough’s surface dips below the polished surface 😍
This choice was most likely made by the cutter to preserve the carat weight.

✨ TIME CAPSULE ALERT! ✨
We are stepping straight into 1947 with this vintage Omega ladies’ watch — complete with its original box and paperwork from the Philippines Regional Exchange.
