While diamonds have been used for centuries in engagement rings, the princess cut is a relatively modern design for the stone. The top of the stone has a square shape, while the entire stone most closely resembles a pyramid. The stone has some similarities to the more popular brilliant cut, which has a round top and a base that comes to a point and resembles a cone. Because of this similarity, the princess cut is also referred to as a square modified brilliant. It should be noted, though, that in order to achieve the shape of the diamond, these stones do not have the same level of brilliance as their round counterparts.
Princess Cut Diamond Rings and Jewelry
While the princess cut is popular in engagement rings, it is also used in a range of other jewelry pieces that buyers may want to consider. Stud earrings, with 14k or 18k gold settings, have a timeless appearance. Tennis bracelets also employ these stones with some frequency. In rings, solitaire settings are just one option that buyers can consider. They can find these angular stones incorporated into a myriad of designs for right-hand rings. Colored princess cut diamonds can be surrounded by small colorless stones to enhance the appearance of the focal stones and make them stand out even more.
