Princess Cut Engagement Rings

Princess Cut Diamond Ring

The Princess cut is the second most popular cut shape for diamonds, next to a round brilliant. The round brilliant is the standard engagement ring cut but the stunning square princess cut is quite striking. It all comes down to individual choice of course but after looking at some of the gorgeous princess cut engagement rings that are available, I’m sure you’ll fall in  love.

Most square or rectangular cuts just don’t live up to the round brilliant for sparkle, but the Princess Cut was designed for getting maximum brilliance from a square cut. When choosing your Princess cut diamond it’s very important to ensure that the setting protects the four pointed corners. The corners are prone to chip which is why the setting has to protect the diamond.

The face-up shape of the princess cut is square or rectangular and the profile or side-on shape is similar to that of an inverted pyramid with four beveled sides. The princess cut is a relatively new diamond cut, having been created in the 1960s.

The princess cut is sometimes referred to as a square modified brilliant. However, while displaying the same high degree of brilliance, its faceting style is unique and completely different from that of a round brilliant.

The Princess cut had its origins in the early “French” cut, having a step-modified “Double-French” or “Cross” cut crown and a series of unique, chevron-shaped facets in the pavilion which combine to give a distinct cross-shaped reflection when the stone is viewed directly through the table. Effectively, the Princess cut combines the high degree of light return of a round brilliant cut with a distinctive square or rectangular shape.

While not the traditional engagement ring selection, princess cut engagement rings are very popular right now and make lovely engagement rings. A solitaire princess cut diamond ring is very elegant and eye catching but also looks exquisite with accent stones on either side.

Hilary Duff and pro hockey player Mike Comrie are married now but when they got engaged the beautiful ring was a Princess cut diamond. Reports say that it is a 14 carat princess cut diamond engagement ring worth $100,000 with a gorgeous setting.
