Princess Cut Guide
Executive Summary about Princess Diamonds by David W S

The princess cut is the most popular cut or shape for diamonds since the invention of the brilliant cut over 60 years ago. The princess diamond cut was invented to obtain maximum brilliance from the diamond. It was invented about 30 years ago.

The princess cut works best with deep stones. This allows the maximum weight retention, and lowers the final cost per carat. Princess cuts are naturally more brilliant and sparkly than other square diamonds.

Any sharp point on any diamond or other gemstone is a potentially vulnerable point, and the four corner angles of princess cut diamonds are no exception. The greatest danger to most diamonds is when they are being set, as it is usually necessary to apply some force to the most delicate parts of the stone, for example the corners.

The princess cut will obviously work best with lighter colored transparent stones. Any stones which are opaque or dark will not benefit as much, if at all.

Princess Cut Diamonds Feature Modern Shape, Classic Beauty

Executive Summary about Princess Diamonds by Jeff Paul

Before they are cut and polished, diamonds may seem to be nothing but rough, unremarkable stones to the naked eye. But with an excellent cut, a jeweler can transform a piece of diamond into an object of captivating beauty.

Princess cut diamonds feature one of the most popular of these shapes, second only to the round brilliant cut. From the top, the gem appears square-like or rectangular, with four 90 degree-corners. But a profile view will display a shape that is comparable to an inverted pyramid with four beveled sides.

In addition, this cut retains more of the rough component of the diamond’s weight. This is the reason why princess cut diamonds are sold for less than round ones.

Finally, the princess cut allows for less visibility of inclusions or impurities which create the yellowish or brownish tint, while dispersing huge amount of light with its 58 facets.
