The Princess Cut Diamond is a brilliant style diamond shape with sharp, uncut corners. It is typically cut square although there are sometimes princess cut diamonds that have a rectangular shape.

The princess cut is the most important new cut or shape for diamonds since the invention or perfection of the modern brilliant cut over 60 years ago. The princess cut diamond is effectively a square version of the round brilliant cut, and is known technically as a square modified brilliant cut.

The princess cut was originally created by Israel Itzkowitz in 1979 at Ambar Diamonds in Los Angeles. After three years of optical research the princess cut was developed. It was a square diamond from the girdle up that had faceting similar to that of a round brilliant cut diamond from the girdle down. This accounts for the fire and brilliance seen in princess cut diamonds.Princess cut diamonds are the most popular non-round diamond. They have a beautiful brilliance and a modern square shape that accentuates a diamond’s fire rather than its luster. Princess cut diamonds have become a favourite diamond choice for engagement rings.

The princess cut diamond is usually less expensive than a round brilliant cut diamond of the same carat weight because a diamond cutter usually does not need to shave off as much diamond weight from the rough diamond. This ability to retain more crystal weight makes this shape popular amongst diamond cutters and therefore less expensive than round brilliant cut diamonds.

The princess cut diamond is normally close to a square with a + or – 10% deviation, but it may come in more elongated versions. Try to avoid extremely thin girdles which are prone to chipping when being set. For a princess cut diamond that is square, a length to width ratio between 1:0 – 1:10 is best, if you prefer a more rectangular shape then a length to width ratio above 1:11 is best.

A Princess Cut Diamond generally has 76 facets, giving it more brilliance and fire than the round brilliant. Princess cut diamonds are the most popular non-round diamond. They have a beautiful brilliance and a modern square shape that accentuates a diamond’s fire rather than its luster. Princess cut diamonds have become a favourite diamond choice for engagement rings.

The modern princess cut diamond ring is result of over five hundred years of refinement of the art and science of diamond cutting. Princess cut diamonds take advantage of the natural molecular structure of diamonds in order to create the maximum amount of sparkle and shine, which is technically known as “fire.” Princess cut diamond rings have a great deal more of this fire than most traditional round cuts.

Two Pyramids

If you can visualize two pyramids joined at the base – an eight-sided polyhedron, or octagon – you know what diamonds look life when they first come out of the ground. The reason for this has to do with the shape of the carbon molecules that make up diamond crystals. When jewelers finally learned how to cut this substance, they simply followed the gem’s natural shape. Princess cut diamonds represent the pinnacle of the diamond cutter’s art.

Three Years of Study

Princess cut diamonds first appeared almost thirty years ago, and was the innovation of a Los Angeles diamond cutter named Israel Itzkowitz. Prior to this time, the stones used in diamond rings were either “round cut” – with equal cuts around the face of the stone – or “square cut” – meaning that four sides were long and the other four were short, so the face of the diamond approximated a rectangular shape.

A Princess cut diamond ring is the result of three years of intense study on the part of Itzkowitz in his attempts to come up with a cut that combined the best features of both the round and the square cuts.

Current Style

Princess cut diamonds, also called “modified square brilliant,” are the second most popular choice today for diamond engagement rings and other jewelry. Both traditional white and the wide range of colored diamonds account for most of the mounted and loose diamonds sold today.

One of the reasons that Princess cut diamond rings are rapidly gaining in popularity is not only because of its brilliance compared to other cuts; it is in fact the most economical way to cut a diamond. Of all diamond cuts, the princess cut wastes the least of the original stone, so it retains substantially more of its original weight. Because of this, these pieces are less costly than similar rings with round cut gems. All around, a princess cut diamond ring represent the best jewelry value on a per-carat basis.

White gold princess cut with side stones engagement rings are one of today’s most popular engagement ring designs as of their timeless beauty and modern edge. The sharp corners of the square diamond make the ring bold, and the added sparkle of side stones make it exceptionally elegant. There are many unique styles to choose from, including offset or angled side stones that give the ring a bit of vintage delicacy while still adding brilliance.A large carat princess cut diamond can be bulky, but choosing a split shank diamond engagement ring paved with side stones lightens the ring and makes it elegant and sophisticated. These designs can be more challenging to clean, however, so take that into consideration before choosing a split shank ring. Pave diamond rings are popular for engagement and wedding rings, and pairing pave settings with princess cut stones is a sleek and classy look. Matching the size of the pave setting to the diameter of the center stone gives the ring a low profile that is a practical choice for many brides-to-be.A vintage or antique-inspired white gold princess cut with side stones engagement ring blends modern diamond shapes with retro flair. The gentle curves of the ring’s setting give it femininity that balances the harsher lines of the princess cut diamond. Three stone diamond engagement rings are always popular, and adding additional pave accent side stones to the ring’s band creates a fusion of the three stone symbolisms with the promise of an eternity ring.Side stones don’t always have to be just on the side of the central diamond. Adding accents in a halo or boxter setting around a central princess cut diamond gives the ring a unique flair without sacrificing the beauty of side stones. This type of setting can also create the illusion of a larger central gem. Channel settings are popular for side stones as they keep the diamonds more protected and secure. This is especially important with princess, emerald, or baguette shaped side stones, since the sharp corners and edges are the most fragile part of the stone. Similarly, the central stone’s corners should be well protected.Baguette shaped side stones pair well with a princess cut engagement ring without adding too much bulk to the large setting, particularly for a large carat diamond. Set in white gold, this type of ring has a lovely gleam and unmatched beauty. Adding small accents to a princess cut three stone platinum ring helps blend the larger central diamonds into the white beauty of the ring’s band without losing the simplicity that three stone rings embrace.To finish off the beauty of your white gold engagement ring, don’t forget a white gold princess cut wedding band. Set with elegant princess diamonds, this type of simple wedding ring pairs well with any princess cut engagement ring. Need more ideas for white gold rings?
