A princess cut diamond is an exquisite true square shape with sharp corners, highlighting chevron-shaped pavilion facets and table facets reminiscent of a round brilliant cut. These facets, the flat surfaces designed on the diamond, play a pivotal role in refracting light, resulting in mesmerizing flashes of color and brilliance. With 50 to 58 facets thoughtfully arranged to create these captivating visual effects, a princess cut diamond is an exquisite choice that combines timeless elegance with a contemporary twist.
Princess cut diamonds, although relatively new, are incredibly versatile. Their adaptability extends further as they effortlessly harmonize with other diamond shapes, such as emerald or marquise diamonds, allowing the creation of unique and beautiful designs that are guaranteed to make a lasting impression. The princess cut earns its name due to the top facets of the diamond being fashioned to resemble a crown or tiara, making them an exceptional choice to be placed elegantly in a solitaire setting, or incorporated into a captivating three-stone arrangement, ensuring a truly royal engagement experience.

Pointed corners can be more vulnerable than rounded corners when left exposed. Settings with V-prongs or bezel details help protect the corners by wrapping them in metal, which is ideal if you prefer added durability or use your hands frequently.
Both shapes are square, but princess cuts feature sharp points while square radiants have trimmed corners. Their faceting styles differ slightly, though both offer strong brilliance. Princess cuts tend to feel more angular and architectural overall.
Princess cuts are known for their sharp corners and bright, modern sparkle, so proportions and cut quality matter. Look for strong symmetry, well-protected corners, and a balance between brilliance and depth so the diamond does not appear dark in the center. Our team can walk you through side-by-side comparisons to help you find a stone that looks lively and well-balanced on your hand.
Yes. Princess cuts are available in three-stone designs as well as settings with pear-shaped or baguette accents. These styles add visual interest while keeping the focus on the center diamond.
