Princess Cut Diamonds

Princess-cut diamonds, also known as square-modified brilliant cuts, were designed to showcase the unique sparkle of the diamond, providing a shine similar to round-cut diamonds due to their similar facet location. Princess-shaped diamonds are among the most popular choices for engagement rings. These princess-cut diamonds have a square shape, but when turned upside down, they resemble pyramids. Just like round cuts, they utilize a large amount of the rough diamond’s surface, ensuring very little of the precious stone is wasted. A lab-engineered princess-cut diamond shape makes a bold statement as it is modern and geometric. Additionally, the princess cut diamonds’ price reflects their popularity and the intricate cutting process that maximizes the diamond’s brilliance.

Key features of a princess cut diamond

Princess cut diamonds have a square or slightly rectangular shape with pointed corners and brilliant sparkle, making symmetry highly important. Their sharp corners can show color more easily, so D–F or G–H grades are ideal for a balance of beauty and value. The cut also hides inclusions well, making VS1–VS2 clarity a popular choice. Although they may appear slightly smaller due to their deeper cut, princess cuts are more affordable than round diamonds, with lab-grown options costing up to 30% less than mined diamonds.

Why princess cut diamonds are a popular choice for engagement rings?

Prince cut diamonds have a high visual appeal owing to their square or slightly rectangular shape. Being more affordable and available in various colors, carat weight and clarity grades, the princess cut is a popular choice for engagement rings.
