This stunning cut is among the most popular in the world for several distinct reasons. Princess cut diamond engagement rings have a face-up design that is typically square. Similar to the standard round (brilliant) cut in its ability to catch the light, this option tends to provide a larger flat surface on which light rays may dance and sparkle. Noted for its sheer elegance and dramatic flair, the princess cut is similar to an inverted pyramid in its shape.
While some popular diamond cuts date back centuries, the princess cut is a relative newcomer to the fine jewelry scene. This cut’s design is said to have been introduced in the 1960s in London and perfected over time by master jewel cutters in Israel to become the “squared modified brilliant” cut that is most commonly known today. The modern princess cut diamond engagement ring is the most popular of the fancy cuts because of its extra facets that enable it to disperse more light through the stone. Creating a brilliant presentation, these extra facets also serve to more efficiently hide inclusions.
Princess cut diamonds are especially popular for engagement and weddings because they pair so beautifully with other stones. Their uniform shape creates a stunning presentation when other gems are arranged by their sides. This makes the princess cut a perfect choice for multi-stone engagement rings and other more complex creations.
As it is with other pieces of fine diamond jewelry, not all princess cut diamonds are created equal. When selecting the perfect piece for an engagement, also pay attention to the clarity, color and carat weight. While highly sought after, princess cut diamond engagement rings do tend to be a little less expensive than comparable round stone designs. This is not due to quality. Rather, the unique shape of the princess cut allows for a greater use of the rough diamond than other cuts.
