The princess cut is the bathing beauty of the diamond trade... bathed in light, that is... It combines the liveliness of the Round, and the contemporary shape of an Emerald or Square cut. If you are looking for the most stunning diamond, you found it!
The princess cut engagement ring has a square cut diamond with 90 degree angles on each corner. It has a tremendous amount of brilliance. The Princess cut is a relatively new diamond cut - it was introduced in 1960 by A. Nagy, a London cutter, as an economic cut for flat diamond crystals (accroding to Eric Bruton FGA, the author of "Diamonds", p216). The Princess Cut was designed for getting maximum brilliance from a square cut.
Princess cut diamond engagement rings have become increasingly popular within the past few years. Many people prefere the Princess because it is rectangular and yet has some of the sparkle of the popular Round brilliant cut. This cut can look magnificant alone as a solitaire, or it can be paired with other diamonds to create a truly stunning work of art.
