Stunning Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

Posted by valentinemargo on November 10th, 2021

Strong lines, geometric shape, and modern outlines – the impressive, angular princess cut diamond is the ideal choice for fashion-forward individuals. Have you always considered the round brilliant a tad too predictable? Did other rounded cuts seem way too vintage for your choice? The princess cut is your answer to the certainty of these common diamond shapes.

 The GIA often labels the princess cut diamond as a modified brilliant-cut having a square and rectangular silhouette. Introduced to the industry in the 1960s, the princess diamond was adopted by brides, especially for its coveted, glamorous look. The fashion world has lapped up its edgy yet glorious style to create innumerable, unique diamond jewelry.

 The princess got her basics right!

 Clean angles and even prettier lines prove why the princess diamond never ceases to climb the popularity chart. The ideal princess cut will appear square in its shape, having four sides of nearly equal length. The modified brilliance guarantees that this stunning silhouette also delivers radiance and sparkle.

 The Asscher or emerald cut diamonds display flashes of light. Unlike them, the princess cut exhibits brilliance and fire, much like a cushion or round cut maximizing its sparkle. The extra facets of a princess diamond allow for an ideal dispersion of light within the stone. This phenomenon serves beautifully to minimize any appearance of inclusions or clarity characteristics.

 Despite their unique squarish appearance, most princess cut diamonds are not precisely square. A slight rectangular shape is the most interesting aspect of a princess cut, but it may not be visible to an untrained naked eye. When you\'re choosing a princess cut diamond, personal preference will decide the choice. There is no right or wrong when it comes to an ideal dimension. To find a square princess cut diamond, a length to width ratio anywhere between 1.00 and 1.05 is ideal.

 This geometric cut also produces the least amount of diamond waste during the process of polishing. Hence, the princess cut diamond offers excellent value for money. You may choose icy colorless hues or warmer tones of shades, depending on your preference.

 If you choose to opt for yellow gold or rose gold setting, going for a diamond in the color range of G to J is a cost-conscious decision. This color range effectively balances quality and value as the warmer hue of the metal hides any minimal presence of color in the diamond.  

 Before you go ahead and splurge on an expensive excellent-cut colorless diamond, consider that the negligible difference between near colorless and colorless grade is almost impossible to perceive, even more to the naked eye.

 A technically flawless princess cut diamond of reasonably larger carat weights will set you back by multiples of thousands. Instead, you may opt for a fiery, brilliant diamond that features inclusions imperceptible to the naked eye.

 Although a relatively newer entrant in the scene, the princess cut is presently the fourth most loved choice after the ubiquitous round, elegant oval, and proportionate cushion cut. Compared to these cuts, the princess cut has seen a tremendous rise in demand.
