Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

A princess cut diamond ring is known for its elegant, angular square shape. Its four bevelled sides meet at each point, forming a striking brilliance with a strong edge, shielded by its clasps. Classic yet contemporary, the princess cut has become popular thanks to its stunning but understated radiance. Aptly named, you can lose yourself in the beauty of a 1 carat princess cut diamond ring, or aim for modest elegance - no matter where your ring sits on the carat spectrum, you will feel like royalty with this ring on your finger.

A princess diamond is a square shaped type of brilliant cut, creating a striking look with its geometric-style facets and sharp, architectural lines which create a distinctively modern look and feel. With its symmetry and structural balance, a princess cut diamond also has timeless beauty.

Though they are similar in shape, there is a difference between a princess cut and square cut. Princess cut engagement rings offer a unique diamond cut — while it appears square, it comes down to a point within the setting, hidden underneath its precious metal surrounds. While a square cut is a broad categorization of ring cuts, including the princess, radiant, asscher, cushion, baguette and emerald cut diamond rings. The main difference across each style being the depth, shape, brilliance and colour of the feature diamond.

Settings are designed to protect your princess cut diamond, while allowing its brilliance to shine. Your selection should guard the square corners of the stone —a prong setting will grasp the stone snugly while allowing space for light to pass through the stone for maximum sparkle is a good choice. Some of the most-loved styles for princess cut engagement rings include:

• A classic diamond solitaire engagement ring is a beautiful style to compliment the clean lines and symmetry of yellow, rose or white gold princess cut engagement rings. It is also perfect for showing off the unique, square brilliant shape.

• Consider a side accent ring style and highlight the centre diamond with a beautiful trail of diamonds set in the band along the ring’s shoulders.

• Swept up in tradition? Halo style engagement rings have a vintage edge.
