One of the most beloved diamond shapes, the Princess Cut is popular in jewellery for its scintillation and fire. The square-shaped gemstone is linear in its design, with four sharp corners and an angular feel. This particular diamond cut is truly desirable and its contemporary shape will be a classic for centuries.
Although most recognised as an engagement ring cut, the princess is actually used in a variety of pieces from earrings to pendants. Here we take a closer look at this shape, as well as some of our favourite pieces.
One of the younger and more modern cuts the Princess ‘square’ cut was designed in the 1970s and is a pinnacle of craftsmanship. Its unique shape has a polished feel and the contemporary edge to the cut has proven popular over the years. With four bevelled sides, the princess cut enhances light distribution giving the diamond exceptional sparkle. From a direct perspective the stone looks like a square however from the side view the cut is actually an inverted pyramid, this allows the shape to effectively show off the brilliance of the diamond. The clean-cut lines and angular shape give the princess cut a more geometric feel and make it a little more individual.
