Princess Cut Diamond Shapes

If you love the fire of the round brilliant cut but want something different, you might want to take a look at the icy fire of the square Princess Cut Diamond. The Princess Cut is the most important new cut or shape for diamonds since the invention of the brillant cut over 60 years ago.

Because of the extra facetting, and the effects it produces, princess cuts are naturally more brilliant and sparkly than ordinary square diamonds. Square stones are better for certain design applications such as eternity rings but the princess cut also has its limitations. Watch out for girdles which are too thin as it is more prone to chipping. Always ensure that the setting for your princess cut diamond protects the four pointed corners.(these are the points most likely to chip).
