Frequently asked questions
What is a princess-cut diamond?
A princess-cut diamond is a square diamond with sharp corners and a brilliant faceting pattern. It is designed to maximise sparkle and is one of the most popular modern cuts for engagement rings. The cut’s straight edges and flat profile also make it a versatile choice for various settings.
Why are princess-cut engagement rings popular?
Princess-cut diamonds are a favorite because they combine modern style with incredible sparkle. Their square shape works well in both contemporary and classic ring designs, and they’re a great choice for those who want a diamond with a bold, symmetrical look.
What makes a princess-cut diamond unique?
The brilliance of a princess-cut diamond comes from its faceting pattern, which allows it to reflect light beautifully. Additionally, its sharp corners and square shape give it a striking and modern appearance. It’s also a practical choice, as it hides imperfections well and offers excellent value for its carat weight.
What should I look for in a princess-cut diamond?
When choosing a princess-cut diamond, consider the following:
- Proportions: Ideal proportions enhance the diamond’s brilliance and symmetry. A length-to-width ratio close to 1.00 ensures a perfectly square diamond, while a slightly elongated ratio creates a rectangular princess cut.
- Depth and Table: The depth (ideal range: 68-75%) and table percentage (ideal range: 64-75%) influence how well the diamond reflects light.
- Cut Quality: Ensure the diamond is cut to maximise brilliance and avoid a dull or lifeless appearance.
Our team at Hatton Garden can show you examples of well-cut princess diamonds so you can see the difference.
How do I pick the right size for a princess-cut diamond?
Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect size:
- Budget: Princess-cut diamonds often appear larger than round diamonds of the same carat weight due to their square shape, making them a great option for maximizing size on a budget.
- Setting: The setting can impact how the diamond is perceived. For example, a halo setting can make the diamond look larger, while a solitaire setting keeps the focus on the diamond itself.
- Lifestyle: Consider a secure setting like a bezel or prongs to protect the diamond’s sharp corners, especially if you have an active lifestyle.
What’s the best setting for a princess-cut diamond?
The right setting will enhance the unique brilliance of a princess-cut diamond while protecting its delicate corners. Popular choices include:
- Solitaire: A timeless option that puts all the focus on the diamond’s sparkle and clean shape.
- Halo: Surrounds the princess cut with smaller diamonds, adding extra brilliance and creating the appearance of a larger stone.
- Hidden Halo: Features a subtle ring of diamonds underneath the center stone, adding brilliance without being immediately visible.
- Three-Stone: Pairs the princess-cut diamond with complementary side stones for a balanced and elegant look.
- Bezel: A modern and secure setting that encases the diamond in metal, offering maximum protection for the corners.
- Toi et Moi: A romantic design featuring two stones, often pairing the princess-cut diamond with another shape like a round or pear. This style symbolizes two individuals coming together and creates a meaningful and stunning ring.
