The GMG Jewellers Guide to Princess Cut Engagement Rings

August 9th, 2017

Princess cut engagement rings are incredibly popular, and every year increasing numbers of brides-to-be pick out this square, sometimes rectangular diamond cut as their favorite shape. In fact, the style has grown so beloved that princess cut engagement rings are the second most popular cut shape for diamonds worldwide—only round brilliant shaped diamonds top the princess cut. Both modern and classically elegant in its style, the princess cut maximizes sparkle while remaining more antique, or vintage, in its setting.

Discover the beauty of princess cut engagement rings with this GMG Jewellers guide to the dazzling style and diamond shape.

The Shape of The Stone

A princess cut engagement ring features a sharply shaped diamond center stone. The face of a princess cut diamond features clean lines and angles, shaping the stone into a modern and lavish design. The face of a princess cut stone features four beveled sides, designed almost like an inverted pyramid to reflect glistening light in different ways. Sometimes also called a square modified brilliant, the princess cut features faceting unlike any other diamond shape. The princess cut is versatile, too, and perfectly suited for a number of settings. From sidestone to solitaire, three stone and halo, a princess cut engagement ring is beautiful in any design.

The Brilliant Light Reflected Within

Princess cut engagement rings are beloved not merely for their stunning shape, but also for their sparkle. First created in the 1960s, princess cut engagement rings immediately became a favorite because of their brilliance. The shape of the diamond is designed to maximize the diamond's sparkle and shine, meant to capture more light than other cuts. No matter a bride-to-be's style, the bright light illuminated by the princess cut diamond enchants every wearer.

A solitaire princess cut ring can be understated, the ideal choice for a bride-to-be who prefers to keep her style and jewellery simple. Choices highlight the beauty of the princess cut diamond while dazzling as they flash with fire beneath the surface. Three stone settings like TACORI Blooming Beauties HT2526PR7, and the Coast Diamond Hand Engraved LP2303 make the princess cut even more modern—a great choice for women who wish to radiate brilliance across their ring finger. Surround a princess cut diamond with layers of pave diamonds, and you can amp up the sparkle to new heights. Options like the TACORI Dantela 2627PRMD allow the princess cut engagement ring to shine, yet offer more drama and flair than a more traditional ring.
