About Princess Cut Diamond Rings
The princess cut is the most popular square diamond shape, beloved for its modern geometric lines and exceptional brilliance. Created in the 1980s, this contemporary cut features pointed corners and chevron-shaped facets that deliver incredible sparkle for engagement rings.
Our princess cut lab grown diamonds are selected for excellent symmetry and light performance. The square shape offers a clean, architectural aesthetic that appeals to those seeking a modern alternative to traditional round diamonds, while maintaining comparable brilliance.
Princess cut diamonds look stunning in solitaire settings, halo designs, and three-stone arrangements. Each ring in our collection is handcrafted in 14K gold, 18K gold, or platinum, featuring IGI or GIA certified center stones with our lifetime warranty included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are princess cut diamonds more affordable than round diamonds?
Yes — princess cut diamonds are typically 25–30% less expensive than round brilliant diamonds of the same carat weight and quality, because more of the rough diamond is preserved during cutting. They offer excellent value in our Best Sellers and Engagement Rings collections.
Do princess cut diamonds have sharp corners that can chip?
Princess cut corners are vulnerable to chipping if exposed, which is why we recommend protective settings. For added security, explore our halo and bezel set princess rings that shield the corners beautifully.
What is the ideal ratio for a princess cut diamond?
The ideal length-to-width ratio for a princess cut is between 1.00 and 1.05, creating a perfectly square appearance. If you prefer a slightly rectangular silhouette, consider our cushion cut or radiant cut rings instead.
