Princess Cut Engagement Rings
The Princess cut is one of the most popular diamond shapes for an engagement ring. It disperses light more so than many other shapes but its four corners give it a more contemporary look and feel. A princess cut diamond is formed like a pyramid; it has four bevelled sides, creating a square or rectangular face which point downwards when face-up.
Why Princess?
A unique arrangement of the facets reflect light towards the centre of the diamond which causes a high degree of light reflection that gives the stone lots of fire and brilliance. This cut was created in the 1970s, and has rapidly increased in popularity as an elegant diamond shape. Admired for its streamlined angles that create beautiful scintillation, the Princess Cut diamond makes a perfect diamond when looking for something extra special
