Princess Cut Engagement Rings
The princess cut engagement ring has a square cut diamond with 90 degree angles on each corner. Many women desire the uniqueness of the princess cut. The cut gives each diamond its unique sparkle and brilliance by allowing the maximum amount of light to enter and reflect back out of the diamond. A well-cut diamond will be considerably more beautiful and valuable than a poorly cut stone of the same size, clarity, and color.
Because the angles of a diamond are vulnerable to chipping, Princess diamonds are frequently mounted with the prongs at the corners. The stones can be aligned parallel to the ring band or angled to present a "diamond" form, which is somewhat unusual. A radiant cut keeps the princess cut diamond square, but makes corners that are less prone to damage and can be mounted in different models.
Some princess engagement rings mount the stones in the band itself. Because the stones are square, many can be aligned together without gaps between the stones. This creates a shimmering line of fire of diamonds. This is particularly popular for princess cut engagement rings and wedding bands.
Princess cut engagement rings are frequently created with stones for more brilliance, with a total of three stones of the most popular variation.
