A princess cut diamond is formed like a pyramid. Created in the 1970s, it appears to be square or rectangular when viewed from above, but it has four bevelled sides. This style disperses a greater amount of light than other square and rectangular shapes due to the unique arrangement of the facets, which gives the stone a lot of fire and brilliance. There are normally 57 or 76 facets.
Some diamonds contain inclusions (imperfections), although these aren’t always apparent to the naked eye. Others have no noticeable characteristics (i.e. they are “eye clean”). How you feel about inclusions is down to personal preference.
Not only is a princess cut engagement ring beautiful, it is also excellent value. Princess cut diamonds produce the least amount of waste when they are polished and cut. They can be arranged next to each other without any gaps, so they’re ideal for wedding bands or eternity bands as well as square engagement rings. They’re also the perfect choice if you’re looking for something clean, angular and modern, without sacrificing elegance or that extra special touch.
The princess cut diamond as we know it today was created in 1979 by Ygal Perlman, Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itzkowitz. But the name “princess cut” was once used to refer to another shape known as the “profile cut”, which was designed by Arpad Nagy in 1961.
The price of a princess cut diamond depends on several factors, including:
